Supported Indian middlemen strike masquerading as a farmer's protests which among other things had the following demands from the Govt - Ability to burn stubble without consequences, one of the primary causes for Smog in Delhi and North India every year contrary to people' perceptions that pollution and industries are primary source - Subsidized diesel and fuel - No restrictions on using groundwater in a water rich region which is facing a serious issues with the water table due to highly intensive agriculture mostly cultivating crops requiring a lot of water - Continuing Govt subsidies on the above mentioned water intensive crops despite there being a significant overproduction and not allowing Govt subsidies to go towards more reasonable crops - Not allowing farmers to sell their produce directly to the consumer or retailers (and receiving money directly in their accounts). Instead going through highly corrupt and legacy 'arthiyas' (middlemen) who add nothing but another layer of bureacracy for no value
