Farmers shout slogans as they block a railway track during a protest against farm bills passed by India's parliament, in Devi Dasspura village on the outskirts of Amritsar, India, Sep 24, 2020. MUMBAI: Indian farmers intensified their protests over three new bills that they believe could pave the way for the government to stop buying grain at guaranteed prices, leaving them at the mercy of private buyers such as traders and retailers.

Farmers erect a temporary shade on railway tracks to take shelter from the sun as they block the rail tracks during a protest against farm bills passed by India's parliament, in Devi Dasspura village on the outskirts of Amritsar, India, Sep 24, 2020. Last week, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Modi's minister for food processing, resigned over her opposition to the bills that she termed as"anti-farmer".

Farm Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday accused opposition parties of misleading farmers and said the government would continue to buy grain from farmers at government-set guaranteed prices.
