Thousands of people from several states, including Punjab, are camped out on the outskirts of Delhi for a sixth straight day, in the biggest protest by farmers in years, demanding that they be allowed to stage protests in the city centre against the new laws that open up India’s farm produce market.

The farmers braved water cannons, tear gas and police barricades in the biting cold, as they tried to reach the national capital.
