The meeting was held between Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak and Agriculture Minister Gurmit Singh Khudian, leaders of farmers' bodies including Sarwan Singh Pandher of Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, Manjit Singh Rai and Satnam Singh Sahni of BKU(D) and ADGP (Law & Order) SPS Parmar, DIG (Border Range) Satinder Singh and other officials.
Protests were held at Badarukhan on Sangrur-Bathinda highway in Sangrur, Dagru on Moga-Ferozepur highway in Moga, Satiali Phul on Gurdasour-Tanda highway in Gurdaspur and Batala railway station, said farmers.
In Phagwara, farmers had already been holding a protest on Amritsar-Delhi national highway for the past many days.
