Farmer unions denied permission to hold tractor rally on Delhi’s outer ring road
On the issue of the tractor march on Republic Day, January 26, the meeting between farmer union leaders and Delhi Police officials remained inconclusive. The police has termed the outer ring road as “very sensitive” but the farmers are determined to hold their rally at the proposed site only.
According to reports, another meeting is expected to be held on Friday to find a way. The meeting was held at the Singhu border to discuss the route and arrangements for the tractor rally.
In the meeting, the Delhi Police suggested that the farmers take out tractor parades on the KMP (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) and KGP (Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal) highway outside Delhi. However, the farmers rejected this proposal.
Earlier, the Supreme Court declined to entertain the Centre`s plea against the proposed tractor rally by farmers on Republic Day. The top court said it is the matter for the police to decide. The top court bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI), SA Bobde, had said the police have the authority to deal with the issues pertaining to the proposed tractor rally.
