After a year of protests and agitations from the farmers, it has been reported that all the protests will now be removed after the farm laws were removed by Central Governemnt a few weeks back. The farmer’s protest can officially be now termed as over and within anytime they will move away from the Singhu border site.
The sources added that the farmers will start vacating the Singhu border site — the epicentre of the agitation — from 4pm on Friday.
The development comes a day after the farmers accepted a second draft proposal from the government, which includes assurances on MSP and withdrawal of police cases. “We have accepted the revised draft given by the Centre over our demands in regard to farmers’ agitation against three farm laws,” farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni said on Wednesday.
In a mega outreach, the government has decided to accept all the demands of the protesters. These include withdrawal of all the agitation-related cases registered during this protest in all states/ UTs and central government agencies; compensation to all the families of the agitating farmers who died during the course of agitation; no criminal liability of the farmers in case of stubble burning; government to discuss electricity amendment bill with SKM/ farmers before discussing it in Parliament; committee on MSP formed in which SKM will list out its members; and ongoing MSP in the country and procurement will continue as it is.
