Farmers' Protest Enters 11th Day, Next Round Of Talks On Wednesday | Read

The farmers' protest against the centre's farm laws entered its eleventh day today with fresh rallies at Burari and other areas in the outskirts of Delhi. On Saturday farmer leaders met union ministers for talks - third this week and fifth since September - but the five-hour discussion broke down on the core issue - repeal of the laws. After the meeting Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said the centre remains committed to finding a solution and urged farmers to scale down their protests outside Delhi by sending the elderly and children home. A sixth meeting will take place on Wednesday, at which a fresh proposal from the centre will be tabled. Between now and then the farmers will hold an all-India bandh on Tuesday to keep the pressure on the central government.
