Farmers Hold Tractor Rallies on Independence Day
News summary

On Independence Day, farmers across Punjab and Haryana organized tractor marches to demand legal guarantees for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other agricultural reforms, under the banners of Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. In Karnataka, farmers led by Kurubur Shanthakumar highlighted their ongoing struggles for fair crop pricing and submitted a memorandum to local authorities detailing demands such as debt waivers and changes to crop insurance policies. The protests continue at key border points where farmers have been camping since February, despite police barricades and Supreme Court intervention urging a resolution. Farmer leaders assert that political parties have historically failed to fulfill promises made to the agricultural community. The tractor rallies symbolize a growing frustration over inadequate government support, and leaders emphasize that without profitable pricing, advancements in crop yields will not benefit farmers. The ongoing unrest reflects broader discontent with the government's agricultural policies and handling of farmers' issues.
