Unionized farmers plan to march to New Delhi on Dec. 2 to demand better government aid to farmers for land acquisitions and market compensation, among other issues. Although the exact location and timing of the march remain unclear, demonstrations typically occur from late morning to early afternoon and will likely pass near government buildings, public squares, and major thoroughfares. Participation will likely be in the thousands.

As a precaution, avoid any demonstrations that materialize. Keep away from locations where security personnel appear to be deploying, and leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for potential localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
