(ANSA) - NEW DELHI, NOV 27 - After long hours of negotiations and tension, the Indian central government, which up to now had banned the national demonstration of farmers, with the motivation of anti Covid measures, at the end of a long iron arm, authorized them to enter Delhi early afternoon today local time.
The capital's government, which had denied the police permission to transfer the hundreds of protesters stopped in the meantime, to nine stadiums in the city, greeted the decision with satisfaction.
"It is a peaceful demonstration, preventing it means infringing a constitutional right", reads a statement.
At the beginning of the morning, for the second consecutive day, chaos had created around the border with the state of Haryana, north of the capital, at the two border posts of Singhu and Tikri.
To stop the peasants, who joined the national protest against the reform of the agricultural sector at dawn today, the police again fired tear gas and water cannons, while some protesters responded, destroying the fences and throwing stones and stones.
Commuter traffic remained in chaos for hours: the television networks showed images of endless queues of cars and trucks parked along the highways north of the capital.
On the blue metro line seven sound stations remained closed all morning, while trains only traveled in the outbound direction.
The demonstration is organized by the national associations of farmers who ask for the cancellation of the reform of the agricultural sector approved by the central government last September.
