The farmers, who had been protesting against the farm laws on various borders of Delhi since November 26, 2020, have finally agreed to call off their protest after intense negotiations initiated by the Union home ministry.
This comes in the wake of the Central government accepting all demands put forward by the protesting farmers, including the withdrawal of all cases and compensation to the families of farmers who had parted during the protest against the controversial agriculture laws.
According to the protesting farmers, the centre has also guaranteed that it will table the Electricity Amendment Bill only after discussion with the SKM or relevant farmers’ unions.
Moreover, the Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh state governments have also agreed to grant a compensation of Rs 5 lakh and a job to the kin of dead farmers.
Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha passed the Farm Laws Repeal Bill during the winter session, which started on November 29. President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to the bill, which completed repealing the three farm laws.
