Dumper trucks used to stop agitating farmers, owners upset

Singhu, Dec 23 : With the farmers continuing their protests at Delhi’s borders over the new Union farm laws, authorities have tightened security arrangements to deal with any kind of law and order situation at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders. Huge blocks of stones, barricades, barbed wire and even dumper trucks are being used to block the roads at the borders.
Dumper trucks filled with mud have been stationed at the Singhu border. However, the owners of these trucks are extremely upset and are worried that their trucks would be damaged if the farmers protest takes a violent turn and it would be difficult for them to claim reimbursement for the losses.
According to the owners of the dumper trucks, the state administration has forcefully seized their trucks and placed them at the border.
These dumper trucks have been parked in the middle of the highway at the Singhu border, loaded with some iron containers.
Thousands of farmers are staging protests at the Singhu border. They have also brought tractor trolleys with them.
During the early rounds of the protests the farmers removed barricades put up by the police with the help of their tractors.
