Farmers from Punjab, under the banners of Bharatiya Kisan Parishad and Samyukta Kisan Morcha, broke police barricades near Noida’s Dalit Prerna Sthal and began marching towards Delhi, demanding a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP). Despite heavy barricading, drone surveillance, and Section 163 enforcement by Delhi Police, protesters continued their march. This comes after the Supreme Court urged farmers not to disrupt public life. Farmers also demand Swaminathan Commission recommendations, pensions, debt waivers, and compensation for deceased farmers. Protests at Punjab-Haryana borders have persisted since February, with accusations of inaction by the Centre.
