[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Farmers affiliated with SKM (Non-political) and KMM held a peaceful protest on March 31, 2025, outside an AAP MLA's residence in Guru Har Sahai city, Punjab, demanding compensation and opposing evictions from protest sites at Shambhu and Khanauri villages.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the farmer protests expand beyond their current scope in Punjab's Fazilka district.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of farmer demonstrations across Punjab's agricultural districts, particularly if protests spread to major transportation corridors
• Track any expansion of demands beyond compensation to broader agricultural policy issues that could affect regional crop planning and distribution
