Amidst the ongoing farmers' protest, a significant event unfolded as the Kisan Mahapanchayat, organized by the Samyukt Kisam Morcha (SKM), took center stage at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.

In his address at a mega farmers' rally in Raipur, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reiterated the Modi government's unwavering support for farmers and rural development.

The government's recent announcement regarding the guaranteed procurement of pulses and maize marks a significant step towards promoting crop diversification and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices in the country.

Minister Goyal, along with Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda and Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, have already engaged with farmer representatives in four rounds of talks.

"We had temporally removed barriers for commuters at the Singhu and the Tikri borders. The deployment of police and paramilitary personnel is still there and (they) will ensure strict, round-the-clock vigil," a senior police officer stated. 

The Congress in Rajasthan has announced plans to conduct a series of awareness meetings at the grassroots level to bolster the ongoing farmers' movement advocating for a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP).

"The resolution appeals for issue-based larger unity of all the Kisan platforms and organisations. It stresses the need for further discussions among the respective kisan organisations and platforms and following the right path and right thinking adopted in the successful united farmers' struggle in Delhi as still the right path leading to victory," the SKM said. 

Representatives from 37 farmer bodies, affiliated with the SKM, convened to strategize for the forthcoming "mahapanchayat" at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan.
