Thousands of farmers have gathered in the national capital Thursday for a two-day march to the Parliament. The Kisan Mukti March, which aims to bring attention to the agrarian crisis of the country – will witness farmers gathering in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan from across the country. On the second day, the rally will continue from Ramlila Maidan to the Parliament Street.
The farmers are demanding a special 21-day session of the Parliament on the agrarian crisis and other related issues such as debt relief and better minimum support price (MSP ) for crops.
The march is being led by All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) and supported the People's Archive of Rural India (PARI) network.
Here are the live updates of the farmer's march in Delhi:
"We hope by 3 pm, farmers from across the country will arrive at Ramlila Ground," said All India Kisan Sabha's Delhi unit. The two-day rally is expected to be "one of the largest congregations of farmers" in Delhi, the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) claimed on Wednesday.
Farmers from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other states, are marching on four different routes in the national capital. The routes start from three major railway stations Anand Vihar, Nizamuddin and Bijwasan and at Sabzi Mandi, their leaders said.
