Today marks the beginning of the ‘Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat’ at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, organized by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the coalition of farmers’ groups. This event follows the 2020-21 farmers’ protest against central agricultural laws.
Security measures are tight, with Delhi Police allowing the event with conditions: a maximum of 5,000 attendees, no tractor trolleys, and no marches at the Maidan. Commuters on Noida-Delhi routes are warned of potential traffic delays due to the protest.
