Farmer unions in India say they’re marking Friday as a ‘black day’ to protest the death of a farmer in this week’s protests. Thousands of protesting farmers have for nearly two weeks been attempting to march towards New Delhi.

Farmers are demanding a legal guarantee for crops sold at state-run agricultural markets. Neha Poonia has more.
