25 Protesters Die as Historic Strike Against Deregulation of Agricultural Markets in India Continues
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agricultural markets. Officials say around half of the deaths have been
caused by the harsh winter as tens of thousands of farmers are camping
out in the cold on the outskirts of New Delhi.
