Noida and Greater Noida farmers' march towards Parliament on Thursday, 8 February, was called off for the day after a proposal to create a high-power committee was agreed upon.
However, they will continue the protest in Noida, reported The Indian Express.
Noida DCP Vidhya Sagar Mishra said, "We have spoken to the leaders of farmer organisations. A proposal to create a high-power committee was given. The farmer leaders have agreed to it. Today's program (of the march) has ended... We are trying to make the traffic movement normal... Extra police force has been deployed for it..."
The farmers have been demanding better compensation for acquired land.
However, their march was stopped by the Noida police near Delhi Noida border, preventing them from entering the national capital.
This march caused massive traffic around Delhi broder.
