The police did try to prevent protesters from entering Central Delhi but they were outnumbered. Using tractors as shields, the protesters hurled stones at personnel.
Protesters also drove tractors frantically at the ITO intersection to make their way in the Red Fort premises.
Reports suggest that tractors were being driven by protestors deliberately trying to run over police personnel. The situation remains tense in several parts of the capital. Additional forces have been deployed and the entire central Delhi has virtually been put under shutdown.
