The Indian peasants protest about decent crop prices, for a week now and resign from the government's proposal on Monday because "it does not satisfy the interests of the peasants". Thus, they confirm that New Delhi will continue its path to capital. In 2021, farmers began a similar protest, camping outside the city for over a year.

Farmers, with the support of 200 unions, left for the capital on 13 February. Police send them tear gas, water cannons and smoke boats using drones. Before resuming the march, the peasants have camped 190 kilometres from New Delhi, while the authorities lift barricades to prevent them from entering the city.
