Farmers protesting against the Centre’s new farm laws on Saturday claimed to have the Delhi Police’s permission to hold a tractor rally on Republic Day in Delhi, following multiple discussions with authorities on the demonstration, reported NDTV. However, there has been no confirmation from the police.
Following the 11th round of discussions on Friday, farmer groups had said they would go ahead with the tractor rally on Republic Day. The negotiations between the farmer unions and the Centre hit an impasse on Friday after representatives of the protestors stood firm on their demand for a complete repeal of the new agriculture laws.

Yielding some ground to end the nearly two-month-long protest by thousands of farmers on the National Capital borders, the Centre on Wednesday proposed to suspend the three contentious farm laws for one and a half years, and set up a committee to look into the future course of action over the legislations. The proposal was made during the tenth round of talks between the two sides.
