Farmers' Protest Escalates as Police Clash with Marchers in India

 

Tensions flared as Indian police clashed with hundreds of farmers marching towards New Delhi to demand guaranteed crop prices. The protest, reminiscent of the 2021 demonstrations, saw tear gas and barricades deployed by authorities at the Shambhu border crossing between Punjab and Haryana.

Farmers, who began their march from Haryana and Punjab, are seeking legal guarantees for minimum support prices (MSP) for over 20 essential crops. The government's current policy protects only rice and wheat prices, leaving farmers struggling with rising cultivation costs and stagnant incomes.
