Tensions have escalated as farmers' leaders reject government proposals, pledging to continue until their grievances are addressed.
As February 21 looms, the threat of breaching Delhi's borders heightens concerns of potential confrontations with authorities. The steadfastness exhibited by the farmers underscores the depth of their discontent and the urgency of their demands.
Simultaneously, solidarity protests erupt nationwide, with farmers mobilizing in Punjab, Check Republic, and other regions, amplifying pressure on the government.
The Modi administration faces increasing pressure as protests gain momentum, revealing a growing chasm between policymakers and agricultural workers.

Organized by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, the farmers' protest garners support from opposition parties and civil society groups.
