Days before India celebrates its 72nd Republic Day, Delhi police on Sunday discovered that over 300 Twitter handles were created from Pakistan from January 13 to 18 to disturb farmers’ tractor rally. According to the sources in the Delhi Police, these handles were created to create panic by giving false information.

“Through intelligence and various other agencies, we have continuously been getting inputs regarding the threat to create disturbance in the tractor rally. 308 Twitter handles have been generated from Pakistan to create confusion,” Dependra Pathak, Special CP, Delhi Police said during a press conference.

Sources claimed that the Delhi police Cyber team is keeping strict checks on social media to track miscreants who may try to create panic. On Sunday, after holding a continuous meeting with farmer unions, Delhi police had permitted farmers to hold a rally in Delhi. Pathak said that Delhi police has finally decided that it will allow tractor rally also on Republic Day. The special CP Intelligence said that around 12 to 13,000 tractors are estimated to participate in the Kisan tractor parade and the exact figure will be counted tomorrow.

Speaking about the timings of the tractor rally, Pathak said the rally will start only after the Republic Day celebration ends at Rajpath. Delhi Police has allowed farmer unions to hold tractor rally on Republic Day but ‘away from the arterial points around Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders’. “Adequate security cover will be provided for the tractor rally,” Pathak said.

When asked about what will follow after the tractor march ends and whether farmers will return to their respective spots, the special CP said, “We trust the farmers, that they will return to the border after the rally.” Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava in an order said that all officers and men, as well as CAPF and other force deployed for Republic Day Parade security, should remain in a ready position to move at short notice for law and order arrangement in connection with Kisan tractor rally.
