A large group of farmers were filmed taking a dangerous ride on excavators while marching towards New Delhi on January 15.

An official of a farmers’ union, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan), filmed the farmers, mostly from Haryana state, northern India, riding the buckets of upturned excavators that were held several feet high in the air.

A representative of BKU (Ugrahan) said: “It was a dangerous way to travel, but it also showed that the farmers were in high spirits.”

Hundreds of thousands of farmers have been protesting in New Delhi for nearly two months, demanding the repeal of new farms laws.

They have gathered at the Indian capital from several states riding all kinds of vehicles from tractors to earthmovers.
