Protesting farmers on way to Delhi were stopped by the police in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh. But the police, who had barricaded the road at Rampur, were forced to give way. Sources said the farmers were from the Pilibhit and Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, and were on way to join the Punjab and Haryana farmers sitting on protest outside Delhi. Cellphone videos from the spot showed tractors roll by one after the other as hundreds of cheering farmers lined the street. Armed with batons, policemen watched as the tractors, drawing tarpaulin-covered wagons, made their way through the crowd. Slogans of "Kisan Ekta Zindabad" sounded from all sides.
