Punjab farmers, who were sitting on a dharna at the Mohali-Chandigarh border to press for their demands, Wednesday ended their stir after the Punjab government accepted 12 of the 13 demands. The protest was formally called off after an Ardas.

MINISTER CAME TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

While a formal announcement of the acceptance of the demands was made by Punjab rural development and panchayats minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.

MAIN DEMANDS ACCEPTED:

Among the 13 demands, the two sides could not reach a consensus on the demand for a bonus of Rs 500 on every quintal of wheat on account of a drop in the yield due to shrivelling of grains.

Mann also assured the farmers that they would be getting MSP on moong and showed them a notification on this. Dhaliwal said farmers will be given Rs 7,275 per quintal for moong.

'NO NEED TO SIT ON DHARNAS':

The minister representing Punjab government, Dhaliwal said, “The CM has said that there is no need to sit on dharnas now. The demand about load on motors would also be fixed. The sugarcane farmers will get their dues.”
