Farmers have delayed a planned march to Delhi after the Haryana government assured them a meeting with Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on September 4.
Farmers who had scheduled a large rally in Delhi have decided to postpone the demonstration. The decision follows a commitment from the Haryana state administration to hold talks with the agri‑community.
Haryana officials told farmer leaders that Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar would meet them on September 4, a promise that appears to have satisfied the immediate demand for dialogue. The meeting is expected to address pending issues related to crop prices, loan waivers and state‑level policy support.
By deferring the Delhi march, the protestors aim to keep the pressure on the central government while seeking a concrete resolution at the state level. Authorities in both Delhi and Haryana are monitoring the situation closely, and further updates will follow as the September 4 meeting approaches.
