UNION MINISTERS HOLD TALKS WITH PROTESTING FARMERS

CHANDIGARH & NEW DELHI, Feb. 12, 2024 (TBINN)

A team of Union ministers today evening held talks in Chandigarh with farmer leaders to dissuade them from their Delhi Chalo March, even as tractor-trolleys set out from different parts of Punjab earlier in the day to join the protest.

In Delhi, massive deployment of police and paramilitary personnel besides multi-layered barricading have been made to seal National Capital borders at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur to prevent protesting farmers from entering the city on Tuesday.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha have announced that more than 200 farmer unions would head to Delhi to press the Centre to accept their demands, including the enactment of a law to guarantee a Minimum Support Price (M.S.P.) for crops.

The Union ministers, including Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda, were holding the second round of talks with the farmer leaders at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration in Sector 26 of Chandigarh.
