Farmers' protest: Delhi turns into fortress as thousands march to India capital

Farmers want assured floor prices - also known as minimum support price or MSP - for their crops.

They are also demanding that the government fulfil its promise of doubling farmers' income.

Two rounds of talks between farm union leaders and federal ministers have failed to break the deadlock.

Police in Delhi have sealed the borders on three sides of the city, in an attempt to avoid a repeat of 2020 protest.
