Protests intensify as Indian farmers march towards Delhi

Indian farmers have persisted with their protests as they march towards the capital, Delhi, on the 25th day of their movement. Despite facing resistance from Haryana police, the farmers remain firm in their demands, rejecting the govt’s proposed new agricultural laws.

The Delhi Police’s denial of permission did not halt the farmers’ march towards Jantar Mantar, where they began their demonstration. However, the authorities responded swiftly, initiating arrests of protesting farmers.

The farmers’ leaders have called for a massive demonstration in Delhi on March 14th, intensifying pressure on the govt. This call for a “Maha Panchayat” is expected to draw even larger crowds to the protest site.

Amidst the arrests, the protesters complained of further delays in addressing their demands, especially regarding the soaring prices of crops. They accused the Delhi Police of treating the arrests as mere theatrics, deflecting from the need for genuine dialogue.
