Farmers to intensify stir, unions call meeting to chalk out strategy; security beefed up at Delhi borders

A day after talks with the government failed to end the standoff over the new farm laws, the agitating farmers have called meeting on Wednesday to chalk out the future strategy. Thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana are currently camping on Delhi border to press for their demand to including MSP in the new laws. Farmers fear that the new farm laws will dismantle the minimum support price system and corporatise the agriculture sector. Today is the seventh day of their protest.
