Maharashtra Farmers' Protest Updates: Marchers Pour Into Mumbai Streets

The state of Maharashtra is witnessing an unprecedented protest with at least 35,000 farmers marching in Mumbai demanding a complete loan waiver. The march started from Nashik district.

Wearing red 'topis' and carrying red-coloured flags, farmers entered Mumbai as they sang and danced highlighting their plight and the deep-rooted agrarian crisis. Last Tuesday they have started a march from Nashik and on Sunday, they reached Mumbai.

The Mumbai traffic police has issued an advisory on restrictions and diversions to take place on certain roads between 9 am to 10 pm, in view of the "Long March" by Maharashtra farmers.
