As protests against the government's new agricultural laws escalate, all leaders of farmers' bodies - backing thousands of protesters camping near Delhi borders since late November - will hold a day-long hunger strike today and hold demonstrations across the country. This is the second nationwide protest in less than a week after highways were blocked last Tuesday as a part of countrywide shutdown call backed by opposition parties and trade unions. Despite several round of talks with the government, farmers have said the protests will continue till the new farm laws are scrapped.
