Protest March Organised at Kannur against Farm Bills

The biggest protest is unraveling at the borders of Delhi which India has ever seen in the recent past, about 500 farmer unions, and an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 farmers converged at the borders blocking the way to New Delhi. The President of India gave his assent to the bills on 27 Sep 2020 leading to a mass movement of farmers to the borders of Delhi, thus blocking the highways.
