Farmers have called off their planned march to Delhi after the Haryana government pledged to engage in talks and agreed to key demands, ending the protest that had been threatening the capital.
Farmers who had been preparing to march to Delhi have suspended the protest after the Haryana government announced it would enter into talks and had agreed to several of the farmers’ demands.
The announcement came following a meeting between Haryana’s agriculture officials and farmer representatives, where key issues such as crop prices, loan waivers and market reforms were addressed.
With the state’s assurances, the protest leaders decided that the march was no longer necessary and called off the planned march to Delhi.
The decision is expected to ease tensions in the capital, where the farmers had threatened to block key roads and disrupt traffic.
Observers note that the move by Haryana may set a precedent for other states to engage with the protesting farmers, potentially averting further disruptions across the country.
