Farmers march to Delhi today: border sealed, heavy security deployed

New Delhi: The protesting farmers of Punjab are poised to march to Delhi today. The over five-hour-long meeting between farmers and Union ministers on Monday night remained inconclusive.

The farmers’ primary demand regarding the maximum support price of crops could not be resolved.

Following the meeting, the farmers stated that the talks had not yielded a resolution, and they would commence the march towards Delhi at 10 am. Simultaneously, farmer leaders alleged that there was a lack of understanding on the government’s part. In an effort to exert pressure on the central government, the farmers have called for a ‘Delhi Chalo’ march.

In Chandigarh, Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda convened a meeting with farmer leaders at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration in Sector 26.
