India: Farmers plan to protest across Haryana State Oct. 28
Farmers plan to demonstrate across Haryana State, India, Oct. 28. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Farmers affiliated with All-India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) plan to hold district-level protests across Haryana State Oct. 28. Participants are denouncing punitive measures for stubble burning and other grievances over agricultural policies. Demonstrations may occur near district headquarter buildings, public squares, roadways, and other government facilities. Hundreds of people may attend each gathering.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy a increased security measures in the vicinity of district-level headquarters Oct. 28 as a precaution. Localized transport disruptions are likely, including due to roadblocks and security cordons. Isolated clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid protests due to possible clashes. If violence breaks out, depart the area immediately. Do not attempt to cross roadblocks, as protesters may react violently. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near affected areas. Monitor trusted local media for protest information, as organizers may not announce details in advance. Heed all security and traffic advisories.
