Video: Farmers' Protests Erupt in India as Police Deploy Tear Gas
Farmers' protests have erupted in India, with demonstrators demanding a minimum guaranteed price for their products. The farmers' frustration has reached the Indian shores, where local unions have taken to the streets.
The protesters' demands are clear: they are calling for the enactment of a law that would guarantee agricultural products with a minimum price set by the government. The police have categorized the protests as unauthorized and are attempting to disperse them using tear gas.
Indians have also stated that dumping is likely to be anti-farmer. Farmers believe the blame lies with the dictates of the central autocracy. They are now planning a march to the capital city of Delhi, while barricades are being set up at the borders of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
