New Delhi, December 9, 2021: Farmer leaders have decided to end their year-long protest at Delhi’s borders and go back home. The decision was taken after Samyukt Kisan Morcha held a meeting today at Singhu border.

This comes after the Centre agreed to meet all their demands, including the withdrawal of all cases against the protesting farmers.

The government has claimed to have agreed to compensate the families of farmers who died during the protests at the borders of Delhi.
