"tikri-border"

After participating in the farmers' protest against the Centre's agri laws at the Tikri border, the women were returning to their village in Mansa district of Punjab.

In the suicide note purportedly left behind by Rajbir, it is mentioned that the three farm laws were responsible for him to take the extreme step.

Over a fortnight ago, another farmer from Haryana had allegedly consumed a poisonous substance at the Tikri border.

Groups of protesting farmers camping at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur border points of the national capital broke police barricades on Tuesday morning to force their way into the city.

The protesting unions has also announced a foot march to Parliament on February 1, when the annual Budget is presented.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Delhi Congress have arranged food and other essential items for the agitating farmers, who have been sitting on the Delhi-Haryana border for the last six days since.

Addressing a press conference at Singhu border, a representative of protesting farmers said that they want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to their "mann ki baat'

Meanwhile, BSP supremo Mayawati and Congress leader Digvijaya Singh urged the Centre to reconsider the "anti-farmer" laws.

Earlier, the Delhi Police had sought permission from the AAP government to use the city's nine stadiums as temporary jails for the agitating farmers.

Situation was tense at the border points as Delhi Police made repeated announcements on loudspeakers asking the farmers to retreat.
