Union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal, and Nityanand Rai are set for the fourth round of discussions with Punjab farmer leaders today. The talks aim to address demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP). Previous meetings on February 8, 12, and 15 remained inconclusive. Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher urged the Centre to issue an ordinance for MSP. The farmers, stationed at Shambhu and Khanauri border points since February 13, demand MSP assurance, Swaminathan Commission recommendations, pension, debt waiver, and more. Haryana extends internet ban amid ongoing protests.
