The Delhi Police has allowed all the farmers protesting against the three recently enacted farm laws to enter Delhi for their peaceful protest and directly go to Nirankari ground, in Burari area of North-West Delhi. The permission was granted by the Delhi Police after several rounds of discussion with the farmer leaders and also after the AAP-ruled Delhi government has rejected the request of Delhi police for allowing them to use nine stadiums as temporary jails/detention centers to detain farmers.
Delhi Police Spokesperson, Dr Eish Singhal told that after discussion with the farmer leaders, all the farmers have been allowed to enter Delhi for their peaceful protest at Nirankari ground. “We have appealed to them to maintain peace,” Singhal said.
Earlier today(27 November, Friday) in the morning, thousands of Punjab farmers marched closer to the national capital, defying barricades, water cannons and teargas. The Delhi Police reportedly closed off the Tikri & Singhu border to stop protesters from entering the city.

The Bharatiya Kisan Union alleged that the incident took place due to the hurdles set up by the Haryana government in a bid to stop the ‘Dilli Chalo’ march.
The farmers are demanding the roll back of the three farm laws that were enacted by the Parliament in September this year.
