[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Farmers affiliated with SKM (Non-political) and KMM staged a peaceful protest on March 31, 2025, outside an AAP MLA's residence in Lalpur village, Punjab, protesting the eviction of farmers from protest sites and detention of representatives returning from government meetings.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If farmer protests expand or intensify across Punjab's agricultural regions, they could potentially affect local crop logistics during the upcoming harvest season, though the current demonstration appears localized and peaceful.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests spread beyond Tarn Taran district or gain momentum across other Punjab agricultural areas
• Track government response to farmer demands regarding detained protesters and evicted demonstration sites
• Watch for any escalation in protest tactics or expansion of participating farmer organizations
