Kisan rally: government agrees to demands, farmers withdraw protest.
Around 15,000 farmers of the All Indian Kisan Sabha (AIKS), who set out on a protest march from Nashik last week, met a government panel at 2 p.m. on Monday.
Irrigation Minister Girish Mahajan said the government has agreed to their demands. "The government has agreed on 100% demands, including transfer of land title," he said.
The farmers have agreed to withdraw the protest, he said, adding that a special train has been arranged for them to return home.
The 'kisan rally' which started from Mulund on Saturday night, reached Mumbai on Sunday. The farmers decided to march at night in order to avoid causing inconvenience to public.
The farmers intended to gherao the Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai on Monday and voice their demands, which include a complete farm loan waiver, implementation of the recommendations of the M.S. Swaminathan Commission, providing forest rights and better compensation for land acquired by the government.
I would give some information that in news. But fact that it is not a first attempt by government.
dear friend it is serious issue for the backbone of my country.
In my opinion if my goverment will not pay attention to my country's farmar , then in future many farmer as well as many people will die.
without farmar our country can not survive.
