Farmers protest live updates: Security tightened at Jantar Mantar

Delhi Police on Friday morning tightened security at Jantar Mantar ahead of farmers' march from the Singhu border. Delhi Police personnel stuck like magnets to the farmers at Jantar Mantar to prevent any law and order situation and the day passed off peacefully. The cops escorted the protesters from Singhu to Jantar Mantar and back to Singhu on Thursday, the first day of the farmers’ Kisan Sansad. Around 30,000 police and paramilitary personnel were deployed across the city, with around 6,000 at Jantar Mantar. Traffic in the city was affected after farmers moved from Singhu border to Jantar Mantar to hold a demonstration against the agri laws at a time when the monsoon session is on in Parliament.
