Farmers Halt March to Delhi After Talks, Issue One-Week Ultimatum
Protesters demand legal guarantee on MSP, land compensation, and other reforms, causing major traffic disruptions in Delhi-NCR.
- Thousands of farmers, led by the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP), began a march from Noida towards Delhi to press for five key demands, including a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP).
- The march caused severe traffic congestion across Delhi-NCR, with multi-layered barricades and diversions implemented by police to manage the protest.
- Farmers are demanding increased compensation for acquired land, plot allocations, employment for landless farmers’ children, and the reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013.
- After negotiations with authorities, the farmers agreed to relocate their protest to Noida's Dalit Prerna Sthal and gave the government a one-week deadline to meet their demands.
- Additional protests and marches are planned by other farmer groups, including the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, starting December 6, to further highlight agricultural issues.
