Meanwhile, the Delhi Police is trying to convince farmers not to carry tractor march in Delhi on Republic Day while farmers made it clear that they will perform tractor rally on Delhi's outer ring road.
Farmers have been protesting at Delhi borders while the 11th round of meeting between the farmers and the Centre also remained inconclusive. Since no date has been fixed for the next meeting, it seems that the deadlock may continue between both the sides.
The farmers' protest has intensified against the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
