Farmers’ protests against recent agrarian reforms in India have intensifiedafter 10 days and farmers have closed the railway tracks and highwaysacross the country.

BJP Government, on the other hand, has beefed up police in Delhi and otherparts of India to prevent any untoward incident.

Farmers have been supported by railway workers, truck drivers, teachers andother unions in the protest.

Protesters in several eastern and western states of India have blockedrailway tracks and roads, while trains have also been suspended.

Five rounds of talks between the government and representatives of thefarmers have failed to break the deadlock as farmers refuse to acceptanything less than the scrapping of the three laws and assurances of aguaranteed minimum support price for their produce.

The government has so far stood its ground, saying the new laws will“liberate” farmers from the tyranny of middlemen.

Nalin Kohli, spokesman for the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),believes talks will resolve the biggest crisis facing Modi.
