[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source GDELT detection — awaiting independent verification. Farmers affiliated with SKM (Non-political) and KMM staged peaceful protests in Punjab's Moga district on March 31, 2025, demonstrating outside AAP political leaders' residences against farmer evictions and detentions at protest sites in Shambhu and Khanauri villages. The low-severity event reflects ongoing agricultural tensions in India's primary grain-producing region.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether protests spread to disrupt agricultural operations or transportation networks in Punjab's farming regions.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of farmer protests across Punjab's agricultural districts during peak harvest season
• Track any disruptions to grain movement or agricultural supply chains if demonstrations expand beyond political residences to transportation infrastructure
