2024 Indian farmers' protest

The 2024 Indian farmers' protest is an ongoing movement that began on February 13, 2024. It is a continuation of the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest, with similar demands for the government to guarantee minimum support prices (MSP) for crops.

The farmers are mainly from Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh. They have been protesting at the borders of Delhi, the national capital, and have been met with tear gas and water cannons from the police.

The government has offered some concessions, but the farmers have so far rejected them. They say they will not stop protesting until their demands are met.

Here are some of the key demands of the farmers:

• Guaranteed MSP for all crops: The farmers want the government to set a minimum price at which they can sell their crops. This would help to ensure that they get a fair price for their produce and are not forced to sell it at a loss.
• Loan waiver: The farmers are also demanding a waiver of their agricultural loans. Many farmers are heavily in debt, and they say that a loan waiver would help them to get back on their feet.
• Withdrawal of cases: The farmers want the government to withdraw cases that were registered against them during the 2020-21 protests.

The protests have caused some disruption to the Indian economy, but they have also gained widespread support from the public. It remains to be seen how long the protests will continue and whether the government will be able to meet the farmers' demands.
