The farmers have renewed their protests with calls for a nationwide strike on the anniversary of the legislation’s passage. Waving colorful flags and distributing free food, hundreds of farmers gathered Monday at one of the protest sites on the edges of the capital, New Delhi. Mohini Kaur, a 61-year-old New Delhi resident traveled to the protest site to show her support for the farmers. Along New Delhi’s southwest and eastern fringes, protesting farmers crowded highways, choking traffic and cutting off access from the capital to neighboring states. While the farmers’ protest movement has been largely peaceful, demonstrators in January broke through police barricades to storm the historic Red Fort in the capital’s center.
