New Delhi: After intense negotiations initiated by the Union home ministry, the farmers protesting at the borders of the national capital have finally decided to end their year-long movement.
The move comes after union government has decided to accept all demands of the protesting farmers.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella body of farmers’ unions spearheading the protests, yesterday said that their 14-month agitation will be called off at 12pm on Thursday, but only after they receive the final copy of the government’s revised proposal accepting their demands.
Demands of farmers include withdrawal of all the agitation-related cases registered during this protest in all states and Union territories, or under central government agencies, etc, compensation to kin of the agitating farmers who died during the course of agitation, no criminal liability to farmers in the cases of stubble burning, minimum support price and some others.
