A delegation of a farmers' union met Haryana's agriculture minister and submitted a memorandum outlining their demands.
The farmers' union sent a team of representatives to the office of Haryana's agriculture minister on Monday, where they formally presented a written memorandum. The delegation included senior union leaders who have been coordinating protests across the state over recent months.
The document lists a series of demands, including higher minimum support prices for key crops, greater access to credit, and relief from rising input costs. It also calls for the implementation of promised irrigation projects and a review of recent policy changes that the union says disadvantage smallholders.
The agriculture minister received the memorandum and said the concerns would be examined in the upcoming cabinet meeting. He assured the delegation that the government remains committed to addressing farmers' issues, while noting that any policy adjustments must align with fiscal constraints and existing agricultural reforms.
