Farmers Protest In India- Shambhu Border

A farmer is holding a police shield, which was confiscated during a confrontation with the authorities, to protect himself against police tear gas and rubber bullets. He is posing for a photo as Indian farmers, who have been protesting for a week to demand guaranteed crop prices, are preparing to march to the capital near the Shambhu border that divides the northern Punjab and Haryana states, some 200 kilometers (120 miles) from New Delhi, India, on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. The protesting farmers have been trying to reach the city since last week, but their efforts have been thwarted by the authorities. (Photo by Rohit Lohia/NurPhoto)
