	Farmers&#39; protest against the Centre&#39;s new farm laws has entered the fifth day today, with the protestors threatening to block all five entry points to Delhi. The Delhi and Gurugram police on Monday tightened and beefed up the security further at the Delhi-Gurugram border on National Highway-48.&nbsp;<br />
	<br />
	<div>
		The supply of vegetables and fruits to the city from other states has been impacted and it has been halved at Azadpur Mandi, one of Delhi&#39;s largest wholesale market, owing to the protest by farmers at the Singhu and Tikri border points of the national capital for the last five days.&nbsp;<br />
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		<div>
			Rejecting the Centre&#39;s offer to hold talks once they move to the Burari ground, the farmers said they will not accept any conditional dialogue and have called a meeting to discuss their next course of action later in the day. Traffic continued to be disrupted in the city due to the protests.</div>
		<br />
		<div>
			Taking to twitter, the Delhi Traffic Police on Monday alerted commuters to take an alternate route since Singhu and Tikri borders continued to remain closed.<br />

<div>
	Punjab farmers are demanding the repeal of the new farm laws, which, they said, should be replaced with another set of legislations framed after wider consultation with the stakeholders. They also want a guarantee on the minimum support price.</div>

Modi and Shah get politics better than anyone else, but not that of Punjab, writes Shekhar Gupta

	CPI MP Binoy Viswam said the use of tear gas, water cannons, lathi charge and other excesses by the police forces against the farmers was &quot;yet another example of the way this government suppresses democratic voices and stifles dissent.&quot;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;Their actions cannot be condoned and are an anathema to the Indian Constitution. After their (the three laws) passing, protests have raged across various parts of the country and numerous representations have met with the government, only to be met with empty promises. The protests that are currently centred around Delhi are a direct response to the anti-people, anti-democratic and fascist stance of the ruling party, he said in a statement.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	CPI general secretary D Raja too condemned the police action on the farmers and said the Haryana government and Delhi Police under the Home Ministry should be criticised for their &quot;high-handed manner&quot;.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;We continue to stand in support of the farmers of this country. If the farmers have any grievances, they have the right to come to the capital city of this country, he said.</div>

Farmer protest LIVE: From Singhu border to Burari, farmers spend a busy Friday

<div>
	After the day-long confrontation at Delhi-Haryana&#39;s Singhu and Tikri borders, the Delhi Police on Friday finally allowed thousands of farmers to enter Delhi for a planned protest against the new Central farm laws.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Even after the Delhi Police announced that they could enter the city escorted by cops, tear gas shells were lobbed at regular intervals and water sprays continued to push the crowd back as many wanted to march towards the Ramlila ground in Delhi and not the designated Nirankari ground in North Delhi&#39;s Burari. Some farmers were also reportedly injured in the action along with some policemen.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The farmers with tractors and trolleys carrying food and essential supplies for days had been trying to enter Delhi from multiple points, defying barricades and barbed wires put up by Delhi Poice to restrict their entry.</div>
