Indian farmers have been protesting for a week, demanding guaranteed crop prices. They have rejected a government proposal and plan to continue their march to New Delhi. Authorities have blocked their route with barricades to prevent a repeat of the 2021 farmers' protests.
The farmers seek a law guaranteeing minimum prices for 23 crops. Despite the government's offer of a five-year contract for guaranteed prices on five crops, the farmers refused, stating it was not in their interest.
