As per news report of NDTV, some farmers were reportedly injured in the action. Groups of farmers, walking with tractors carrying food and essential supplies, had been trying to enter Delhi from multiple points, defying barricades, many wrapped in barbed wire, and trenches dug up near key roads. Farmers' organisations said they had been "given safe passage" into Delhi and allowed to protest at a ground in Burari near the capital's outskirts.
