The gruelling 200-km, six-day 'Long Kisan March' by over 35,000 farmers finally ended on a positive note, with the Maharashtra government agreeing to most of the farmers' demands on Monday evening. These include the right to forest land and waiver of loans.

Later, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) leaders announced that the agitation was withdrawn.
