More than one lakh farmers from as many as 207 farmer organizations have started a mega two-day protest march from November 29 from Brijwasan on the outskirts of Delhi to Ramlila grounds.

Farmers are holding a protest to demand loan waivers and assurance of high minimum support price (MSP) and a special parliament session to discuss the agrarian crisis.
