India: Unionized farmers plan to protest in district collectorate offices across Tamil Nadu State Nov. 21
Unionized farmers to hold protests at district collectorate offices in Tamil Nadu, India, Nov. 21. Localized transport disruptions likely.
Farmers from the Tamil Nadu Farmers Union plan to protest at district collectorate offices across Tamil Nadu State Nov. 21. The action is to demand the state government withdraw all charges against farmers and farmer associations involved in earlier protests in Tiruvannamalai. Turnout remains unclear but up to a few hundred people could attend each gathering.
Heightened security and localized transport disruption are likely around the protest sites. While the demonstrations will likely pass peacefully, isolated scuffles between security personnel and demonstrators cannot be ruled out.
Avoid any demonstration that materializes as a standard precaution. In the event of violence, leave the area immediately for a secure, nongovernment building. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; monitor trusted local media for updates on protest details. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
