Hordes of police and paramilitary personnel are manning these impregnable barricades round the clock. All these measures are aimed at separating the people of New Delhi from the hundreds of thousands of farmers who have staged a sit-in protest since the first week of December, camping on the borders of the capital.

Journalists are not allowed to reach them. The police has refused access to a delegation of the opposition. Farmers have marched from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and other states to Delhi demanding the repeal of the three laws enacted by the government of India to regulate farming and activities related to agriculture.
