Protesting farmers on Friday agitating against the new farm laws ran a tractor over a police barricade in Bajpur, of the Udham Singh Nagar district in Uttarakhand.
Protests at the borders of the national capital completed a month on Friday, the agitating farmers said they will continue to be there till the Centre withdraws the farm laws, guarantees the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and implements all their other demands.
The Central government on Thursday had again sent a letter to the protesting farmer organisations for the next round of talks and requested them to decide the date and time for talks. The letter said the Central government was ready with a positive approach to hold talks on all oral and written issues raised by the agitating farmer organisations.
During the Monsoon session of Parliament, three important bills related to all the three ordinances related to agriculture were introduced and after the approval from both the Houses, were passed. These are: The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance And Farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020 came into effect in September.
Under the banners of United Kisan Morcha, farmers led by leaders of nearly 40 farmer organisations, have been camping at the Delhi borders since November 26, demanding the repealing of all the three farm laws.
