Farmers threaten stir if special session fails to address drought
Farmers across several Indian states warned they will launch protests if the upcoming special parliamentary session does not prioritize measures to combat the severe drought affecting their regions. They demand immediate water management policies, relief funds, and support for crop losses, stating that inaction will exacerbate agrarian distress and threaten livelihoods. Unions say they will organize rallies in towns if relief is not announced soon.
