Eyewitness recalls flag incident
Description
Patiala: Ambala villager Jagtar Singh recalls how a swelling crowd of farmers breached the Singhu barricades to reach Delhi’s off-limits Outer Ring Road for the Republic Day tractor march. He said: “The cops had opened a small window for single tractors but the farmers widened that gap in the barricades by dragging their trailers through as well.” On the Outer Ring Road pushed aside a police barricade of 15 buses and 10 tipper trucks, and smashed their windowpanes. They drove away two tippers to ferry the protesters. The farmers ahead of us diverted to the Red Fort, where a big crowd had hoisted the Kesri flag already.”
