Kisan Andolan Updates: Farmer unions to meet Government officials for fresh talks

The opposing farmer associations met on Friday in order to examine the Centre's most recent letter welcoming them for talks. Some of the farmers indicated that they may continue their exchange with the Centre to discover a fix for the halt over the recent agri laws. The associations said they will hold another gathering on Saturday where a conventional agreement on the Center's greeting is probably going to be taken.
