Thousands of Indian farmers ready to resume their advance towards New Delhi on Wednesday. The movement hopes to reproduce the success of the siege of the highways leading to the capital which lasted a year in 2021.
Farm unions are calling for a law setting a minimum price for all crops, expanding a government program that already exists for staples such as rice and wheat. They also demand, among other concessions, the cancellation of loans and universal pensions for farmers aged 60 and over. The protests come ahead of national elections expected in April.
