This marks the third attempt at dialogue between the two parties, as previous rounds of talks on February 8 and 12 remained inconclusive.
Amid the ongoing standoff between protesting farmers and security personnel at the Punjab-Haryana border, a panel of three Union ministers is set to engage in another round of talks with farmer leaders in Chandigarh today. Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, and Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai will convene at 5 pm to address the farmers' various demands, prominently the implementation of a law guaranteeing Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.
This marks the third attempt at dialogue between the two parties, as previous rounds of talks on February 8 and 12 remained inconclusive. Farmers from Punjab, who have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders of Punjab and Haryana, are seeking to march towards Delhi to convince the Centre to accept their demands.
A similar standoff persists at the Data Singhwala-Khanauri border near Haryana's Jind district.
