New Delhi: Clashes broke out between agitating farmers and a large group of people claiming to be locals at the Singhu border on Friday. Police resorted to lathi-charge and used tear gas shells to disperse the crowd, The New Indian Express (TNIE) reported.
The locals demanded that farmers vacate the Singhu border protest site as they had insulted the national flag during their tractor parade on Republic Day.
Hundreds of anti-farmer protesters gathered at the border raising slogans — ‘Singhu border Khali Karo (empty Singhu border), ‘Goli Maaro Desh ke Gaddaro ko‘ (shoot the traitors) and ‘Khalistaniyo ko bhagao‘ (drive away Khalistanis), the report added
The mob reportedly went on a rampage inside the site and vandalised the community kitchen. Some even burned the blankets and other necessities.
Later, both sides pelted stones at each other where the locals could be seen pelting burning sticks, stones and iron sticks. To bring the situation under control, police fired tear gas, Mirchi bombs and resorted to lathi-charge, TNIE added.
