Tight security deployed at Red Fort due to Bharat Bandh

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of over 40 farmer unions, has called for a 'Bharat Bandh' on Monday to mark one year of the passage of the Centre's three farm laws. The call for the bandh has been supported by major opposition parties including the Congress, BSP, Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, Telugu Desam Party, Left parties, and Swaraj India. The SKM on Sunday appealed for complete peace during the Bandh and urged all Indians to join the strike. A massive traffic jam was seen at the Gurugram-Delhi border as vehicles entering the national capital are being checked by Delhi Police and paramilitary jawans. There has been tight security at Red Fort, which is usually at a high-risk alert. Barricading has been done at every corner of it and this has resulted in poor traffic movement. Watch this video.
