Background

Farmers Protest March HIGHLIGHTS: Farmers on tractors and on foot began their march from Noida to the Parliament complex in Delhi on Monday, leading to massive traffic jam on the Delhi-Noida border. Delhi Police and Gautam Buddh Nagar Police have put up barriers on the Noida-Delhi border points to prevent the farmers from marching into the national capital. Bhartiya Kisan Parishad leader Sukhbir Khalifa on Sunday announced that the farmer organisation's members will begin their march around noon today. The march will begin near the Mahamaya flyover and will move towards Delhi on foot and tractors. 

The five demands include the allocation of 10 per cent plots and 64.7 per cent increased compensation under the old acquisition law, four times the market rate compensation and 20 per cent plots should be given on the land acquired after January 1, 2014. Further, children of landless farmers should be given the benefit of employment and rehabilitation. Other demands are for government orders on the issues passed by the High Power Committee and proper settlement of the populated areas should be done.

All types of goods vehicles will be restricted on the route from Yamuna Expressway to Delhi via Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and from Sirsa to Surajpur via Pari Chowk. Meanwhile, the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM, non-political) have also planned foot marches towards Delhi from December 6. These farmers have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13, after security forces stopped their march to Delhi.

Farmers, who have been seeking a legal guarantee on the MSP, have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points since February 13.

The protesting farmers had attempted to march towards Delhi on February 13 and February 21 but were stopped by the security forces deployed at the capital's borders. A panel of then Union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal and Nityanand Rai held talks with the farmer representatives on February 18. The farmers had then rejected the Centre's proposal of buying pulses, maize and cotton at the MSP by government agencies for five years.
