More farmers from Punjab and Haryana have started leaving for Singhu and Tikri borders near Delhi via rail and roads.
As the massive demonstration by farmers on the borders of Delhi completes one year and the headline agenda stands achieved, the protest sites on the borders of the capital are not showing signs of a retreat.
More farmers from Punjab and Haryana have started leaving for Singhu and Tikri borders near Delhi via rail and roads. A prominent farmers' union has decided to organize a mahapanchayat on Friday to mark one year of the protest near the Delhi border.
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise announcement last week that the three controversial farm laws will be rolled back, the farmers had said they would not be ending their protest till the laws are formally repealed and other demands are met.
On Sunday, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha - the group of farmers' unions spearheading the protest - wrote an open letter to PM Modi seeking immediate resumption of talks with the government over their six outstanding demands, including a law guaranteeing minimum support price (MSP) for all farmers.
