To promote new regulations that set minimum crop prices, Indian farmers staged a protest in New Delhi. On Thursday, thousands of farmers who had been denied entry to the city for weeks crowded buses and trains to travel to the Indian capital to intensify their rummy gold demand for new laws that would ensure minimum profitable crop prices.
Officials stopped rummy nabob driving their tractors after obstructing the highways heading into New Delhi with barbed wire and cement blocks. For the farmers to be allowed to march in the capital, they had to swear not to use their farm cars. In order to avoid a confrontation with the authorities, they were also not allowed to bring sticks or swords.
The protesters carried signs requesting free rummy modern for farms. They claimed that without guarantees regarding crop prices, they would be at the mercy of the markets, which would be terrible, especially for the majority of them who own less than one hectare of land.
Held at Ramlila Ground, a location regularly used for political rallies, religious festivals, and entertainment events, the rally was organized by the United Farmers Front.
The farmers were only permitted to bring 5,000 people to the march by the police, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
