As the standoff between protesting farmers and security personnel continues at the Punjab-Haryana border, a panel of three Union ministers is set to meet farmer leaders in Chandigarh. The dialogue, led by Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, and Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, aims to address key demands, including Minimum Support Price (MSP) implementation. Amidst preparations for the meeting, farmer groups, including Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and BKU Dakaunda (Dhaner), declare a 'rail roko' in Punjab today. The ongoing protests have led to disruptions in the National Capital Region (NCR), prompting advisories from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) regarding commute planning.
