Farmers’ protest: Haryana police use tear gas shells, as the center requests negotiations

New Delhi: To conduct the fifth round of negotiations, the central government has made a plea to the farmers who are protesting. Arjun Munda, the union minister of agriculture, said on Wednesday that the government is prepared to talk about any unresolved matters, such as MSP, burning of stubble, filing of FIRs, etc. Tractor-riding farmers demonstrated at several district offices, opening a new front for farmer leader Rakesh Tikait’s BKU in western Uttar Pradesh.

We are prepared to speak with farmers on topics such as crop diversification, FIR, stubble, and MSP during the fifth round of meetings. Munda said today, “I beg them to uphold the peace, and we should have a conversation to find a resolution.

He claimed that the farmers’ side has not responded to the offer from the Center.

“As of yet, there has been no information from the farmers. We kindly request that we proceed with the negotiations and express our position. The administration is eager to go and resolve the issue as well,” said.

The farmers continued their Delhi Chalo march on Wednesday. They are asking that the government provide MSP assistance for all crops. The Haryana police launched tear gas shells, but the farmers, armed with gas masks, bulldozers, and earthmovers, rushed forward.

Meanwhile, the owners of the heavy gear have been warned by the Haryana police to avoid the demonstrations or risk legal action.

Meanwhile, the DGP of Punjab has issued orders directing all Punjab’s relevant officers to halt the movement of such machinery to the Punjab-Haryana borders in response to the Haryana government’s concerns about the agitated farmers using JCBs, Poclaines, Tippers, Hydras, and other heavy machines at the Shambhu border.

Rallying on their tractors, a large group of farmers arrived to the collectorate in Muzaffarnagar and set up a dharna.

Naresh Tikait, the president of BKU, and Rakesh Tikait are probably going to take part in the tractor march.

at addition, there were comparable demonstrations at Saharanpur, Bagpat, Meerut, Hapur, Sambhal, and Amroha.
