After the Centre met their demands, the one-year and fifteen-day-long protest by Delhi farmers near Delhi’s border was ended.
After the Centre sent a letter to farmer bodies, it was agreed to end the protests.
Sanjay Agarwal (Secretary to the Union Ministry for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare) signed the letter.
The government agreed to establish a committee to address the farmer’s demand to have a law that guarantees a minimum price for foodgrains (MSP).
Also, the Central government agreed to have discussions with farmer groups about the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021 before it is submitted in Parliament.
