## Farmers’ March Towards Delhi: A Brewing Storm
**Host:** Joining us today to discuss the upcoming farmers’ march on Delhi is agricultural expert Dr. Ravi Sharma. Dr. Sharma, thanks for being here.
**Dr. Sharma:** It’s my pleasure.
**Host:** As our viewers may know, thousands of farmers plan to march towards the Parliament complex on Monday, December 4th. Could you shed some light on the reasons behind this mass mobilization?
**Dr. Sharma:** Absolutely. These farmers, primarily organized under the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP), have five key demands. They’re seeking compensation and benefits under recent agricultural reforms. This comes after previous widespread protests in 2020 against similar reforms [[1](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-68282270)]. It seems the farmers feel their concerns haven’t been adequately addressed.
**Host:** It’s a significant undertaking, bringing thousands of farmers from 20 districts to Delhi. What impact do you foresee this march having on the region?
**Dr. Sharma:** It’s likely to cause considerable traffic disruptions in Delhi-NCR. Authorities are already bracing for the impact, deploying increased police forces and implementing route diversions at critical entry points like Chilla, DND Border and Mahamaya Flyover [[original source]].
**Host:** With such a large-scale demonstration planned, are there concerns about potential clashes or unrest?
**Dr. Sharma:**
It’s natural to have concerns when dealing with such large gatherings. However, both the authorities and the BKP have emphasized the peaceful nature of the protest. Hopefully, the situation will remain calm, and the farmers’ demands can be addressed through constructive dialog.
**Host:** Dr. Sharma, thank you for providing your insights into this important issue.
**Dr Sharma:** It’s been my pleasure.
