Indian farmers call off year-long protest after govt assurances
Govt agrees to set up panel to consider crop support prices
Farmers will meet on Jan 15 to review progress on assurances and will resume protests if govt moves away from its promises.
Indian farmers called off a year-long protest after the government conceded a clutch of demands, including assurances to consider guaranteed prices for all produce, instead of just rice and wheat.
India's protesting farmers have received a revised proposal from the government addressing some of their pending demands such as a new law to secure government prices for crops beyond rice and wheat, farm union leaders said on Wednesday.
