Synopsis Tear gassing & lathicharging Kisans is unacceptable. Why, after the Delhi Police & Samyukt Kisan Morcha agreement? Why is the government provoking a confrontation. They must allow the peaceful, agreed tractor parade to continue, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said in a tweet.

The protesting farmers clashed with police at several places in the national capital. They entered the iconic Red Fort and ITO in the heart of Delhi, with hundreds of them deviating from pre-decided routes, prompting security personnel to resort to lathicharge and tear gas.

Parents of pupils of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State that were kidnapped by bandit last Friday, hit the street of the troubled town yesterday, demanding the immediate recovery of their children.
Moments after the protest rocked the town that is 100km from Katsina, the state capital, Governor Aminu Masari confirmed that 333 of the 839 pupils of the school are still unaccounted for.
The presidency, however, assured Nigerians yesterday that the rescue of the pupils would not be long as troops have surrounded the kidnappers in their hideout.
