[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 9, 2025, approximately 300 farmers from multiple villages in Telangana staged a road blockade protest in Peddur village, demanding irrigation water from the state government. The protest was classified as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. However, if confirmed and sustained, road blockages in agricultural regions could disrupt local transport of farm inputs and produce, though the impact would likely remain localized to the immediate area around Nagarkurnool district.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of similar protests across Telangana's farming regions
• Track government response and any resolution of irrigation water demands
• Watch for potential expansion of road blockades to major transport corridors
