Farmers in northern India have taken to the streets once again to voice their grievances and demand change. The protests have gained momentum, with farmers blocking highways and staging sit-ins near toll plazas in the states of Haryana and Punjab. Tens of thousands of farmers have also embarked on a march toward the capital, New Delhi, in tractors and wagons, seeking guaranteed prices for their produce.
The farmers' protest comes on the heels of similar demonstrations two years ago, which lasted for over a year. During that time, farmers camped on the outskirts of Delhi to protest against new agriculture laws that were eventually withdrawn. Now, they are rallying for legislations that will ensure minimum support prices for all farm produce.
