Hisar, May 24
In a major boost to farmers, the district administration today agreed to withdraw all criminal cases registered against them in the district during the past month. The decision, taken at a meeting between farmers’ leaders and district and police officials in the mini secretariat here, ended the weeklong stalemate between the two sides.
After attending the meeting, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait told mediapersons that the administration had accepted farmers’ demands and the FIR against 350 farmers on May 16 which included the attempt to murder charge would be withdrawn.
“The FIR registered on May 16 and three or four other cases registered against farmers in Hisar will be withdrawn as per the legal process which will start within a week. The administration will award compensation to the farmers whose vehicles were damaged during the May 16 clash,” said BKU leader Joginder Singh Ugraha.
