 Now, Indian farmers called off a year-long protest on Thursday after government conceded a clutch of demands. These include assurances to concede guaranteed prices for our produce. Instead of just rice and wheat, Indian leaders said. Details on this report. The massive nationwide protest by farmers in India that have racked the country for over a year may finally be over. Indian leaders called off the demonstrations on Thursday after the government conceded to a clutch of demands, including assurances to consider guaranteed prices for all the farmers' produce. The protest was sparked by new and controversial agricultural laws which deregulated the sector, but opponents feared made farmers vulnerable to big business. It even drew in activists abroad, including Rihanna and Greta Thunberg. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said last month he would roll back some of the laws, but the farmers had continued to press for other demands, such as the guaranteed prices, as well as for legal action against protesters to be dropped. Farmers leaders said they'll meet on January 15th to review progress on the government's assurances, and warn that protests would resume if the government backed away. The protest camps will start clearing out on December 11th. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
