The iconic Mughal-era fort witnessed violence on Republic Day, when groups of farmers protesting against the farm laws over-ran the fort and hoisted a Sikh religious flag on an empty mast just below the national flag on the ramparts. The police had used batons to push them out. The fort, parts of which had suffered damages, has been shut till January 31 by the Archaeological Survey of India.
