What happened
Thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana marched towards the Shambhu border and proceeded to Delhi. The marchers are protesting the proposed India-US trade agreement. The Delhi Traffic Police issued advisories warning of possible restrictions and diversions on key roads in central Delhi.
Why it matters
Farmer unions claim the proposed trade deal could flood Indian markets with cheaper agricultural imports, which threatens the livelihoods of local farmers. The protests also led to traffic advisories and diversions in Delhi.
