Farmers across India have initiated a series of protests, including tractor marches and effigy burnings, to express their dissatisfaction with current agricultural policies and international trade agreements. The protests, which have seen significant participation, aim to draw the government's attention to the farmers' demands and grievances. Major disruptions were reported in Delhi-Noida, Delhi-UP borders, and other regions, with traffic jams and increased security measures, including the imposition of Section 144, to manage the protests. Farmer leaders, including Rakesh Tikait, have outlined plans for a 'Tractor chain' on highways leading to Delhi, specifically targeting the divider highway, as a form of protest. Effigies representing the World Trade Organization (WTO) were also burnt in places like Haryana’s Jind, signaling farmers' discontent with international trade policies. The protests have not only affected local traffic but also highlighted the farmers' willingness to engage in dialogue with the government to address their concerns. Protests were also organized at the Azizpur toll plaza in Punjab’s Mohali district.
