Farmers, government gear up for third round of talks today as protests intensify

The Centre and farmer leaders are gearing up for a third round of discussions amidst the ongoing ‘Delhi Chalo’ march, which has seen thousands of farmers vowing to push ahead with their protest. Union Ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal, and Nityanand Rai are set to meet with representatives of the protesting farmer unions via video conferencing today evening.

Previous meetings between the two sides failed to yield results, prompting farmers to launch their protest march on Tuesday, February 13.

Senior Union ministers, including Rajnath Singh and Arjun Munda, held discussions on Wednesday to address the ongoing farmers’ protests and related issues, news agency PTI reported citing sources. The meeting, details of which are yet to be disclosed, saw Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, a former agriculture minister, discussing various farmer concerns with Munda, who currently oversees the agriculture ministry and has been involved in previous discussions with farmer groups.
