Delhi: The farmers' protest scheduled for Monday has led to significant traffic restrictions and diversions across the Delhi-NCR region. Organised by the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) and other farmer groups from Uttar Pradesh, the march towards the Parliament complex aims to press the government on five key demands related to compensation, land acquisition, and rehabilitation.

The march is set to begin near the Mahamaya Flyover at noon and will involve both foot and tractor convoys heading toward the Parliament complex. Farmer leader Sukhbir Khalifa has reiterated their commitment to demanding fair treatment under the new agricultural laws. Punjab farmers will start the 235-km 'Dilli Chalo' march from the Shambhu border in the Rajpura constituency of the Patiala district on December 6.

This demonstration follows ongoing protests by groups such as the Samyukt Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, who have been pressing for guaranteed Minimum Support Prices (MSP) and other farmer-friendly policies. Further marches are planned in December to sustain pressure on the government. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, as disruptions will continue during the protest.
