Even on the second day, the meeting between the police and farmer unions regarding the proposed tractor rally on January 26 remained inconclusive.
JCP (Northern Range) S.S. Yadav coordinated the meeting held at Mantram Resort near the Singhu border on Thursday.
The farmers said the police officers had tried to convince them to hold the rally on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway instead of the Outer Ring Road but in vain.
A farmer leader said: “The government wants us to take out our rally outside Delhi but we won’t. No decision was taken in today’s [Thursday] meeting.”
