Police in northern India have fired tear gas to stop thousands of farmers marching on Delhi .

The capital is ringed by razor wire, cement blocks and fencing on three sides.

The government fears a repeat of 2020 - dozens died in a year-long protest that ended only after ministers agreed to repeal controversial agriculture laws.

Two rounds of talks between farm union leaders and federal ministers have so far failed to break the deadlock.
