On the third day of the 'Delhi Chalo' march, farmer leaders are scheduled to meet with Union Ministers Piyush Goyal, Arjun Munda, and Nityananad Rai in Chandigarh on Thursday, although the Punjab-Haryana border remains tense.
Earlier on Wednesday, while speaking with the media, the farmer leaders stated that the protestors at the Shambhu border were given two options: continue pressing for their demands or return to the table for further discussions. The leaders of farmers indicated that they "would refrain from advancing towards Delhi on Thursday till the meeting with the Union ministers if there was no tear gas shelling from Haryana's side".VIDEO | Farmers Protest: Agitating farmers block railway track at Rajpura in Patiala district of #Punjab.#FarmersProtest pic.twitter.com/sZVKymYXpE— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) February 15, 2024
