NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday shared pictures of barricades and concertina wires placed near farmer protest sites at Delhi’s borders, with a message to the government: “Build bridges, not walls”. At Delhi’s border with Uttar Pradesh, police have placed barricades and concertina wires to stop farmers from crossing over into the national capital by the Ghazipur-Meerut highway. Police cover have been also increased at the Delhi-Haryana border, where police personnel hooked iron rods between two rows of cement barriers on a flank of the main highway at the Singhu border to further restrict the movement of protesters. Another portion of the highway at the border is practically blocked now as a makeshift cement wall has come up there, according to news agency Press Trust of India. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, too slammed the government over the issue on Tuesday. The government and protesting farmers have not been able to break the deadlock over the three farm laws despite several rounds of talks. The situation has deteriorated further with farmers calling for a countrywide “Chakka Jam” protest on Saturday.
