Protesting farmers end march in Delhi

The Kisan Kranti Yatra at Kisan Ghat was going on for the past 10 days.

The farmers said that most of their demands have been accepted by the government, reports said.

Meanwhile,  the Delhi Traffic Police on Wednesday said the traffic on National Highway-24  has opened. 

" Traffic Alert NH-24 is open for traffic movement now," the police tweeted. 

On Tuesday, the protesting farmers even clashed with the police at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.

At the end of several rounds of negotiations with officials, the farmers were allowed to enter the national capital.

The farmers were marching under the banner of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU).

Deputy commissioner of police (east) Pankaj Singh told Hindustan Times: " While a majority of the protesting crowd had already returned from the border, around 5,000 farmers who were left were given entry into the national capital. By 6 am today, everyone left the city."

The farmers were demanding free electricity for running tubewells, Hindustan Times reported. 

Reacting strongly to police's attempt to stop several thousands of farmers from entering the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the peasants can't be denied an entry to the city, which is for all.

Following the incident, Kejriwal took to Twitter to say in Hindi, "दिल्ली सबकी है। किसानों को दिल्ली में आने से नहीं रोका जा सकता। किसानों की माँगे जायज़ हैं। उनकी माँगें मानी जायें। (Delhi is for all. Can't stop farmers from entering Delhi. The farmers' demands are justifiable. Their demands must be fulfilled."
