MASSIVE FARMER'S PROTESTS OUTSIDE INDIAN CAPITAL AND ACROSS THE NORTH OF THE COUNTRY

📹 Massive protests are confronted with teargas, armed police with rubber bullets and drones as thousands of farmers, mostly in India's northern Punjab region, protest on Tuesday demanding a Minimum Support Price or MSP for all crops to raise farmer's income.

Dozens of Farmer's unions participated in the strikes, calling for a "Delhi Chalo" or March to Delhi.

Police in and around the capital have erected barriers on highways surrounding New Delhi, and have begun firing tear gas and rubber bullets at the approaching farmers.

Tractors, along with thousands of farm hands, are seen in footage nearing the outskirts of New Delhi, in the northern Haryana state, being confronted by officers with gas and smoke bombs, including some dropped from buzzing drones overhead.

Authorities have shut down Internet services in some areas where protestors approach, and have erected concrete roadblocks and barriers, while local officials have banned public gatherings and are deploying extra security personnel.

Officials in New Delhi emphasized that sufficient police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed to all entry points to the city.

Farmers are demanding dozens of changes, including a new MSP or floor price for crops to increase and guarantee farmer income, as well as a full debit waiver, according to local union officials.

Political officials in New Delhi say they're open to talks, with Agriculture Minister, Arjun Munda telling reporters on Tuesday that the Federal government already is "bound to protect the interest of farmers."

"Farmers also need to understand that inconvenience shouldn’t be caused to the public,” Minister Munda said, adding the government was always ready for negotiations with the Farmer's unions.

“We are ready to do everything possible to find a solution to this issue,” he said.

"After the crucial second round of talks with the government failed to make any headway, the protesting farmers carried on with their Delhi Chalo march on Tuesday. There were reports of chaos on the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border as the Haryana police fired teargas shells as farmers tried to break the erected barricades. Drones have been deployed to keep track of farmers’ movements, most of whom are on tractors.

Delhi has imposed Section 144 throughout the city for 30 days, erected barricades and iron spikes on the borders to prevent the farmers from entering the Capital.

Internet and bulk SMS services were suspended for Tuesday in seven districts of Haryana- Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa. Several farmer leaders’ social media accounts were also reportedly blocked the previous day.

The farmers’ protest, being led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, has been demanding legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, as promised by the BJP-led government at the Centre, among other demands like loan waiver and implementation of the MS Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations. The farmers participating in the protest are mainly from Punjab and Haryana."

UP Farmers’ Protest March from Noida to Delhi: Key Demands and Impact

Farmers from Uttar Pradesh, under the banner of the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) and allied groups such as the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), launched a protest march today from Noida towards the Parliament complex in Delhi. The march coincides with the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament and aims to press the government for urgent action on their key demands related to compensation and benefits under the revised agricultural laws. This is the top news headline today!

Key Demands

1. Enhanced Compensation: Farmers are demanding 64.7% increased compensation under the old acquisition law, equating to four times the market rate, and an allocation of 10% plots.

2. Compensation for Post-2014 Land Acquisitions: For lands acquired after January 1, 2014, they seek 20% plot allocations and appropriate compensation.

3. Employment and Rehabilitation for Landless Farmers: They urge employment and resettlement benefits for children of landless farmers.

4. Implementation of High Power Committee Orders: Farmers are pressing for the government to issue binding orders on recommendations made by the High Power Committee.

5. Settlement of Populated Areas: Proper resolutions are sought for families residing in affected areas.

Security and Traffic Impact

Authorities in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh have imposed strict security measures, including barricades at Noida-Delhi border points, to manage the march and prevent a potential escalation. Intensive vehicle checks and multiple route diversions have been implemented, causing significant disruptions across the National Capital Region (NCR).

Notable traffic diversions include:

· Commuters from Chilla Border to Greater Noida are redirected via Sector 14A Flyover and Sector 15.

· Travelers from DND Border to Delhi must use the Film City Flyover route.

· Vehicles from Greater Noida to Delhi are routed through Kalindi Kunj and Sector 51.

The authorities have urged commuters to opt for metro services to avoid delays and announced exemptions for ambulances and other emergency vehicles.

Protest Details

Led by BKP leader Sukhbir Khalifa, the march began near Mahamaya Flyover in Noida at 12 PM, with participants arriving on foot and tractors. Farmers from over 20 districts, including Gautam Buddh Nagar, Agra, and Aligarh, are actively participating in the agitation.

The protest reflects the growing unrest among farmers regarding compensation and land acquisition policies. While government officials have yet to comment formally, the farmers have warned of escalating their demonstrations if their demands remain unaddressed.

This renewed agitation underscores the need for prompt action to address farmers’ grievances while ensuring minimal disruption to daily life in the NCR.

Truth of Farmers Protest 2024 | Why Farmers are protesting? | Abhi and Niyu - 21 Feb 2024

On February 13, groups of farmers heeded a call given by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and began a march to the national capital, to press for fulfilment of their demands, which include a legal guarantee for purchasing crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP) and a farm loan waiver.

How has the march progressed? While farmers from different States have reportedly started heading for Delhi, it has been largely from Punjab that scores of farmers started their ‘tractor-trolley’ march to reach Delhi via Haryana. As farmers arrived at Shambhu-Ambala and Khanauri-Jind, the inter-state boundary between Haryana-Punjab, they were stopped from entering Haryana. The Haryana government had put in place elaborate security arrangements with multi-layer barricades, which included iron nails, barbed wires, concrete barricade-blocks, boulders, trenches and anti-riot vehicles on the roads bordering Punjab. Additionally, the police resorted to the use of tear gas through drones, and water cannons to disperse the agitating farmers. Police-farmer clashes ensued when farmer groups attempted to enter Haryana by pushing and throwing away the multi-layer barricades.

Indian farmers march towards Delhi, welcome with tear gas and rubber bullets

Urdu International (Monitoring Desk) According to the international news agency “Al Jazeera“, these demonstrations are a continuation of the protests that took place two years ago, during which 600 people were killed in clashes with the police.

According to Al Jazeera, thousands of farmers have gathered on the outskirts of India’s capital, New Delhi, to demand guaranteed minimum prices for their crops, debt relief and policy reforms.

The protests are being led by more than 250 farmers’ unions, including the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (a platform representing more than 150 unions) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), which is supported by more than 100 unions. With participants coming from as far away as states like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the protests are being coordinated from Punjab and are drawing support from beyond the state’s borders.

Farmers have been marching towards New Delhi with their tractors and trucks since Tuesday this week. In an attempt to stop the march, Indian authorities have placed barricades and other heavy machinery along highways leading to the capital.

During an attempt by protestors to break barricades in Shambhu village on the Punjab-Haryana border, the Haryana police fired tear gas shells to disperse them. Haryana borders New Delhi, and is governed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.

The protests are a continuation of protests in and around New Delhi that took place two years ago. It continued for more than a year, during which more than 600 people were killed during a violent crackdown by the authorities. The protests ended after the government agreed to repeal three agrarian reform laws that farmers had objected to. However, their other demands were not met and the issues flared up again.

Demand for a stronger system to fix minimum support prices (MSP) to protect farmers from market fluctuations is at the heart of the protests. The protesters are also demanding debt relief and a ban on privatization of the power industry.

According to the farmers, they were forced to come to the streets again as their demands were not met. “We never wanted to do this, but farmers are committing suicide. They have huge debts. We are here to save them.”

Another farmer, Dharam Singh Sidhu, 60, vice-president of Kisan Sangash Samiti, Ferozepur, Punjab, described teargassing farmers and firing rubber bullets at protesters as “undemocratic”.

He said that under democracy, everyone has the right to protest peacefully, but despite proceeding peacefully, they are obstructing us, shelling and firing. No farmer is involved in any illegal activity. We are protesting peacefully.Indian farmers march towards Delhi, welcome with tear gas and rubber bullets

Inside the Intelligence Report: Farmers' Protest 2.0 Unveiled

As the farmers’ protest 2.0 gains momentum, an intelligence report sheds light on potential entry points, logistics, and strategies adopted by protesting farmers on their march towards Delhi. Here’s a breakdown of key insights from the intelligence report:

Potential Entry Points: The report highlights remote and non-motorable borders of Delhi as potential entry points for protesting farmers from Haryana and Punjab. These areas could serve as strategic routes for farmers’ entry into the national capital.

Logistics and Mobilization: Protesting farmers have mobilized over 1,500 tractors and 500 vehicles from Punjab alone for the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march. These vehicles are reportedly loaded with six months’ worth of food, rations, and logistics, indicating the scale and preparedness of the protest.

Key Meeting and Outcome: A crucial meeting between farmer leaders and Union ministers concluded without resolution, prompting farmers to proceed with their planned ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest. The standoff underscores the determination of farmers to press for their demands.

Planned Entry Points: Farmer unions have identified key entry points into Delhi, including Shambhu Border (Ambala), Khanori (Jind), and Dabwali (Sirsa), signaling their strategic approach to the protest.

Strategic Hideouts: Tractors have been modified to serve as shelters, and farmers plan to hide in gurudwaras, dharamshalas, ashrams, and guest houses around Delhi. This tactic allows them to regroup and organize snap protests while seeking support from various communities.

Security Concerns: Security agencies express concerns about potential protest targets, including the Prime Minister House and Home Minister House. The heightened security alert underscores the need to prevent potential breaches and maintain public order.

As the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march unfolds, the intelligence report provides valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the farmers’ protest and the strategies adopted by both protesters and security agencies. The unfolding events underscore the complexities and challenges surrounding the farmers’ demands and the government’s response.

Traffic Gridlock: Massive Delays as Farmers' March to Delhi Causes Congestion

Key border points connecting Delhi with its satellite towns are experiencing severe traffic congestion and diversions ahead of a large-scale farmers’ march to the national capital.

Long queues of vehicles are visible on the highways at Ghazipur and Chilla borders, linking Delhi with Ghaziabad and Noida in Uttar Pradesh.

A frustrated commuter stranded on the DND flyover reported moving “only a kilometre in over an hour.” He described the traffic as stagnant for the past 20 minutes, with no apparent u-turn option.

Traffic is moving slowly on NH-48, the route connecting Delhi with Gurugram, with vehicles undergoing checks before entering the national capital.

Several border points, including Ghazipur, Singhu, and Tikri, have been fortified to prevent protesting farmers from entering Delhi. Concrete blocks, layers of barricades, barbed wires, and nails have been strategically placed on highways to impede the movement of tractors and trollies across these border points.

Despite talks between farmers and a government delegation last night, there was no consensus on three key demands, including a law guaranteeing the minimum support price (MSP).

In response to the anticipated disruption, Delhi Traffic Police have issued guidelines, restricting the entry of goods vehicles into Delhi via the Greater Noida Expressway. Goods vehicles are also prohibited from traveling between Sirsa in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh’s Surajpur via Parichowk.

To navigate around the traffic, those traveling to Delhi from the DND border are advised to take the elevated road via Sector 18 from Film City. Commuters from the Chilla side can use the Sector 14A Flyover, Roundabout Chowk, Sector 15 via Sandeep Paper Mill Chowk, Jhundapura Chowk.

Additionally, people traveling from Kalindi Kunj Border to Delhi are recommended to take the Mahamaya Flyover, while those using the Yamuna Expressway should exit at Jewar Toll towards Khurja and follow the Jahangirpur route.

Borders Sealed, Marches Banned: Delhi A Fortress As Farmers Hit Streets

Protesting farmers from Punjab are firm on marching to Delhi today as the Union ministers' five-plus-hour meeting with them remained inconclusive. There has been no resolution on the main demand of the farmers -- the minimum support price for crops.

Here are 10 points on this big story:

The farmers' meeting with Union ministers in Chandigarh -- a last-ditch effort of the government that got singed two years ago over farm law protests -- continued almost till midnight. Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda led the talks with the farmer leaders.

Post 11 pm, the two sides came to an agreement on repealing the Electricity Act 2020, compensation to farmers killed in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, and the withdrawal of cases against farmers during the farmers' movement.

But there was no consensus on the three key demands -- enactment of a law to guarantee a Minimum Support Price for all crops, farmer loan waiver and the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission recommendations.

After the meeting ended just before midnight, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee's Sarwan Singh Pandher said the 'Delhi Chalo' march is on. "Two years ago, the government had promised to meet half of our demands in writing… We wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. But the government is not sincere. They just want to waste time," a farmers' representative told reporters.

The Delhi Police have taken every possible step to stop the march from entering Delhi. There is heavy police presence at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders. The police have imposed a month-long ban on public meetings and tractors and trolleys entering the city.

Prohibitory orders banning large gatherings have been declared in these areas. Much of the roads have been barricaded with concrete blocks and barbed wire. The movement of commercial vehicles has been stopped.

The authorities in Haryana have also fortified the state borders with Punjab at many places, including Ambala, Jind, Fatehabad, Kurukshetra and Sirsa. Concrete blocks, iron nails and barbed wire have been used to barricade the roads and block the protesters from entering the state.

Haryana has also invoked the 2021 law against public and private property damage that makes perpetrators pay. The state home department has directed the civil and police officers to stick to the rule.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had announced 'Delhi Chalo' march. The farmers have taken a hard line, armed with the precedent of the government's capitulation and withdrawal of the farm laws following the year-long agitation in 2020-21.

The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha which has the allegiance of more than 250 farmers' unions, and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha -- a platform of another 150 unions -- called the protest in December. The protest, coordinated from Punjab, is meant to remind the government of the promises it made two years ago.
