Panel of 3 union ministers to hold talks with farmer leaders in Chandigarh this evening
Chandigarh, February 15
A panel of three Union ministers will hold a meeting with protesting farmer leaders in Chandigarh on Thursday for another round of talks amid the ongoing standoff between the agitators and security personnel at the Punjab-Haryana border.
This will be the third round of talks between the two sides: the previous two rounds of dialogue on February 8 and 12 remained inconclusive.
Farmers from Punjab are camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders of Punjab and Haryana seeking to march towards Delhi to press the Centre to accept their demands.
The farmer leaders said they would not make any fresh attempt to move towards the national capital till the meeting is held.https://ee35a9ee977750e30d9d9929dd61fbcc.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html
