Amid a stand-off with the farmers, Haryana Police in Ambala District has said that any loss to the government and private property during the protest will be compensated by attaching the property and seizure of bank accounts of the protestors.
The deadlock between the government and protesting farmers rolled into a second week Monday, with no definite breakthrough after four rounds of talks but signs of an accord on the MSP issue on the horizon.
Three Union ministers held talks with the leaders of protesting farmer unions for more than five hours on Thursday night, amid a standoff between the protesters and security personnel at two points on the Punjab-Haryana border.
The government has said the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, one of the farmer organisations behind the latest protests, never nominated representatives to a committee it formed in July 2022 to "make MSP more effective and transparent".
