In India, tens of thousands of farmers on tractors occupied a stretch of an expressway on the periphery of the capital New Delhi today in one of the biggest shows of strength since they began a sit-in against unjust farm laws one and half months ago.
The protesters mostly from the Punjab, which is one of the country’s leading producers of wheat and rice, took to the highway.
The government has offered to give written assurances to the farmers they will continue to get a minimum price and the two sides will sit down for another round of talks tomorrow.
