Vehicular movement returned to normal on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway near Delhi after farmers carried out a five-hour peaceful blockade to mark the 100th day of protests against the three new farm laws on Saturday, 6 March.

As per IANS, farmers had squatted on the roads and blocked various toll plazas on the expressway from 11 am to 4 pm.

The farmers registered their protest by raising slogans and displaying black placards, while the tricolour fluttered atop tractors, and protest songs blared from speakers.

Commuters who were unaware of the protest, however, were reported to have faced problems.

The farmers’ agitation against the new contentious farm laws began on 26 November.
