'No more media people will enter': Police bar entry to journalists at Singhu

After the violence during the farmers' #TractorRally on Republic Day, the security at Singhu was tightened. As a consequence, journalists were required to show their press cards at four or five separate checkpoints, travel a 1.5 km detour, and only then enter the site.

At around 6 pm today, police personnel posted at #Singhu border, refused entry to Newslaundry reporter Nidhi Suresh.

A police official said this wasn't an 'official ban' but only journalists with 'National #Media authorised press cards' would be allowed to enter.
