One year of farmers' protest; South Africa identifies new coronavirus variant; more

As the farmers' protest completes a year, hundreds of farmers in tractors arrived at Ghazipur and other Delhi borders to mark the one year of the ongoing farmers' protest against the farm laws.

Demanding formal repeal of three central farm laws and a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price for their crops, farmers have been camping at three border points of Delhi -- Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur -- for the last one year.

Meanwhile, the Centre had recently announced its decision to repeal the three farm laws, but the farmers, now want legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price and the cases filed against the farmers to be withdrawn, compensation to the kin of farmers who died in the protest.
