[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hundreds of farmers from SKM (Non-political) and KMM staged peaceful protests in Tarn Taran district, Punjab on March 31, 2025, demonstrating outside AAP leaders' residences against farmer evictions and detentions at protest sites in 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. If confirmed and protests expand across Punjab's agricultural regions, disruptions to wheat and rice production areas could emerge during the critical spring planting season.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of farmer protests beyond Tarn Taran district to other Punjab agricultural areas
• Track any escalation in farmer-government tensions that could affect agricultural operations during planting season
