Talks between Centre-Farmers Continue
Despite the rain, dipping temperature and tear gas shelling, thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana have been protesting at various borders of the national capital for more than a month, against the three farm laws that were passed by both Houses of the Parliament in September.
The seventh rounds of talks with the Centre is scheduled on 4 January. Amid the continuing deadlock over the three contentious laws, farm leaders suggested that the protests will be intensified if the talks with the government fail and if there is no respite given to them by the Supreme Court.
