Farmers End Khanauri Protest After Centre Invites Them for Talks on September 4
Farmers protesting at the Khanauri border between Punjab and Haryana planned a symbolic shirtless march to highlight restrictions and oppose the proposed India-US trade agreement. Haryana authorities blocked their entry, halting a 228-km padyatra to Delhi. After several days of sit-in protests and road closures, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha called off the demonstration following an invitation from Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for talks on September 4. Farmers warned protests may resume if discussions fail to address their demands, including MSP guarantees and trade exclusions.
