[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 state minister's residence in Jandiala Guru, Punjab, demanding compensation and protesting earlier evictions from demonstration sites. The low-severity event reflects ongoing agricultural grievances in India's primary grain-producing state.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Punjab is a critical grain-producing region, but this isolated protest shows no immediate signs of disrupting agricultural operations or logistics networks.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of farmer protests to other districts in Punjab or neighboring agricultural states
• Watch for any government policy responses that could affect agricultural production or farmer compensation schemes
