India: Police try to prevent thousands of farmers from entering New Delhi. Farmers are calling for a national law to guarantee a floor purchasing price for major crops.
To stop these farmers, the police closed several highways by erecting concrete blocks, metal barriers, and fixing nails to the ground. The government is negotiating with two unions leading this march, but says it cannot quickly pass a law, three months before the legislative elections. Farmers, for their part, want to weigh in on the debate in this electoral campaign.
