💨 Abstract

Farmer leaders in Punjab claim police conducted "raids" at their residences and detained them ahead of a planned protest in Chandigarh on March 5. The police action follows a breakdown in talks between the state government and Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) leaders over farmer demands, including withdrawal of a draft national agricultural marketing policy, minimum support price guarantees, and an end to land acquisition for infrastructure projects.
