Delhi Police is gearing up to take strong action against the miscreants. According to Delhi Police sources, the police have prepared steel sticks to face the miscreants, with the help of these sticks, the police will be able to defend themselves. There is so far no official confirmation, so far, from Delhi Police on the details of this equipment.

About 400 policemen of Delhi Police were injured in the violence during the farmers' tractor rally held on 26 January i.e. Republic Day.

In a photo shared by police sources a group of cops are standing by the side of a road in the national capital, equipped with appear to be metal gloves covering their forearm - wrist to elbow.

They are also holding a metal lathi with a large protective covering, or 'guard', around the grip that is big enough to allow both wrists to be shielded when swinging at an opponent.The new 'weapon' comes after a Delhi policeman received injuries last week while trying to subdue a man - believed to be a farmer - brandishing a sword at Singhu on the Haryana border.
