During the meeting, both the sides tried to bring a common ground to restore the rail services in Punjab, which have been suspended since September 24, when farmers started their “rail roko” agitation against the central laws.

THE talks between the government and representatives of farmer unions remained inconclusive on Friday, with both sides refusing to budge from their respective stands but agreeing to continue discussions. The farmer organisations insisted that the new farm laws be repealed and legal backing be provided for the minimum support price (MSP) mechanism. There was no breakthrough over the start of train services to Punjab either.

The meeting between 40-50 representatives of farmer unions and three Union ministers — Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and Minister of State for Commerce & Industry Som Prakash — lasted nearly eight hours, from around 10.30 am to 6 pm. Tomar later admitted to the media that a “considerable gap” remained between what the farmers wanted and the government’s stand.
