An emergency meeting called by SKM on Wednesday was cancelled.

Separate meetings for farmers from Haryana-Punjab

Chaduni has noted that the Punjab Jatthebandis and farmer unions from Haryana will be having separate meetings.

As per information, farmer leaders from Haryana will be coming up with a decision by holding a meeting at 11am on Wednesday. The Punjab farmer leaders, on the other hand, will also be holding a meeting on Wednesday, at 1pm, wherein they will discuss all aspects of the agitation.

Reportedly, most of the farmers from Punjab have agreed to withdraw the protests. A few organisations, however, have stated that they will continue the agitation until their demands are fully met.

Previously, on November 27, SKM had postponed their parliament march slated to be held on March 29, after having an important meeting. However, SKM is yet again going to hold another meeting on December 4.
