Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar along with Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal on December 3 held talks with farmer leaders at Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital. Before the meeting, Tomar had hoped for "positive outcome" from the discussion.
Thousands of farmers from neighbouring states, mainly Punjab, have settled in and around the national capital as part of their 'Delhi Chalo' protest against the three new agricultural reforms which have been dubbed as "black laws" by the protesting farmers.
The government has repeatedly conveyed that the three farm laws will help farmers in getting better price for their produce and usher economic growth in the agriculture sector.
