The third round of talks between farmers and Union ministers has also failed. A request was also made to convene the third round of meeting in Chandigarh. Now the next meeting will be held on Sunday and in that meeting many other important issues including internet shutdown will be discussed.
The third round of meeting of Union Ministers with farmers was going on in Chandigarh, which remained as a request. Union Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda, Food Supply Minister Piyush Goyal and Union Home Minister Nityanand attended the meeting. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Harpal Cheema were also present in this meeting. A lot of expectations were being expressed regarding this meeting, but once again no positive response could be received in the meeting held between the farmers and the Union Ministers, after which the farmers have warned to intensify the struggle.
Let us tell you that due to the farmers' movement, the borders of the state are sealed. Its direct impact is on common life. Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh are directly cut off from other states. The wheels of about 3000 trucks going to these states have stopped. Due to the farmers' movement, businessmen of Punjab alone are facing a loss of Rs 875 crore every day.
