Haryana Farmers Call Off Protest As State Agrees To Their Demands
Share

The protesting farmers of Haryana called off their agitation this evening after the state government agreed to pay  the minimum support price or MSP for the sunflower crop. The government has also agreed to release all the farmers arrested during the protest.

The impasse, on since the beginning of this month, was resolved at a meeting this evening with the government representatives.

The government will increase the relief and give fair price to the farmers, the Divisional Commissioner said after the meeting. He requested the farmers to call off their protest.

The farmers had started the protest earlier this month, upset over the state government’s decision not to buy sunflower seeds at the minimum support price.

On June 6, farmers led by Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) had blocked National Highway-44 near Shahabad in Kurukshetra district. The police used batons and water cannons to disperse the protesters.

Later, nine leaders of the farmers’ group, including its president, were arrested over various charges, including rioting and unlawful assembly.
