India: Activists to rally in Khanauri area near Punjab-Haryana border Jan. 4

Unionized farmers will protest in the Khanauri area near the Punjab-Haryana state border on Jan. 4 as a part of their ongoing series of demonstrations to address several perceived agricultural policy-related issues. While protest organizers did not immediately announce a specific assembly point, activists are likely to gather near a prominent government building, transport hub, public square, or major thoroughfare. Additional gatherings are possible in the affected area.

Authorities will likely monitor any such gatherings as a precaution and use force to disperse unruly crowds. Officials may implement enhanced restrictions, including temporary internet and telecommunications curbs, depending on operational needs. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out. Associated localized business and transport disruptions are likely.
