Indian Farmers Renew Protests, Demand Government Action
Thousands of farmers are marching towards New Delhi, demanding guaranteed prices for their produce and other reforms, as police respond with tear gas and barricades.
- Farmers from multiple Indian states are marching towards New Delhi to demand government action on guaranteed prices for their produce, debt waivers, and other agricultural reforms.
- Police in Haryana state fired tear gas and erected barricades to prevent protesters from reaching the capital, reviving memories of the 16-month-long agitation two years ago.
- The protests are led by over 200 farm unions, including the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, demanding legal guarantees for minimum support prices and compensation for farmers who died in previous protests.
- Negotiations between a government delegation and the protesting farmers have not yielded results, with police detaining some farmers and using drones to drop tear gas.
- The protests come months before a general election, with farmers forming an influential voting bloc and parties seeking their support amid accusations of anti-farmer policies by the current government.
