The protest action by farmers at the Kanauri border in the states of Punjab and Haryana, which lasted for the last four days, has been stopped. Farmers' leader Jagjit Singh Dalwal announced the cancellation of the action on the fourth day.
Under pressure from the resolute stance of the farmers, the central government invited them to negotiations scheduled for September 4. The farmers viewed this invitation as a significant victory.
The farmers' warning about holding a demonstration in semi-nude form was canceled after receiving an invitation to dialogue from the government. Jagjit Singh Dalwal emphasized that this is only an intermediate stage, and the fight is not over.
After the government proposed negotiations, the farmers began returning home from the Kanauri border. Dalwal reported that the meeting on September 4 will involve discussions on important issues with the participation of the Ministry of Agriculture and high-ranking officials of the central government.
The farmers specified that the next strategy will be announced based on the results of the September 4 meeting. Nevertheless, the wave of all-India farmers' mahapanchayats will continue in protest against trade agreements and other agricultural problems.
Previously, the farmers had announced a march to Delhi. However, they subsequently decided not to block roads but instead to sit peacefully in place, stating that they were preparing for this from their homes and would remain at the Kanauri border until August 28. Now, however, their demonstration has ended.
