NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police on Thursday said that it has removed the iron spikes and nails cemented into the road near the spot where farmers have been protesting on the Ghazipur entry point.
A senior Delhi Police officer told IANS: "We are strategically planning to install these iron spikes and nails at another location. That is why they have been removed from here around 11 a.m. We will install them wherever we need to."
The Bharatiya Kisan Union said: "A right decision has been taken now. By doing the fortification in the area, an atmosphere to facilitate a dialogue can't be created. But better be late than never. The government should not take such decisions that make the protesters feel that they are sitting on the border of another country."
