Year-long farmers' stir against three acts finally comes to an end

'Suspend' protest after govt's letter of assurances; to review on Jan 15

Farmers on Thursday drew the curtains on their over a year-long agitation on the borders of Delhi over various issues, including the now-repealed three farm Acts.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) — an amalgamation of various farmer unions spearheading the protests — announced “suspension” of the stir following a letter from the Union agriculture ministry on all the points of discord; it also assured to continue with the current system of minimum support price (MSP).

SKM leaders during a joint press conference announced that farmers would start leaving protest sites across the country on December 11, following a victory rally.
