A day ahead of next round of talks between the Central Government and farmers, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday met Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar in New Delhi.
It is learnt that the two leaders have discussed the issues of the agitating farmers of Punjab and Haryana.
The meeting between the Chief Minister and Union Minister is being perceived as an important development as it happened just hours before the sixth round of talks with the farmers scheduled for December 9.
Sources said that Manohar Lal has given some suggestions to Tomar during the meeting in order to resolve the deadlock.
The agitation started by the farmers of Punjab is getting widespread support from many farmers' organisations in Haryana as well.
Notably, more than 120,000 farmers of the state wrote to Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Monday demanding not to roll back the three farm laws passed in the Monsoon session. In Haryana, some farmers unions are in support of the agitation while others are opposing it.
Due to the agitation by farmers of Punjab and Haryana going on at Delhi border since November 26, the supply of essential commodities in Delhi has been severely affected. All efforts to resolve the matter have proved unsuccessful so far.
