The Centre has scheduled a crucial meeting with the protesting farmers of Punjab on February 14 in Chandigarh, as the ongoing standoff between the farmers and the government continues. This announcement comes after a meeting between Union Agriculture Ministry officials and farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on a hunger strike for over two months.

In the midst of ongoing protests and tense negotiations between farmers and the government, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella organization representing various farmer unions, has dismissed a five-year contract offer from the Centre regarding Minimum Support Prices (MSP). The proposal emerged from a fourth round of talks held in Chandigarh, where farmers voiced their discontent with the terms presented.
