THE HARYANA government on Wednesday decided to constitute a high-power committee to hold talks with farm union leaders and discuss modalities of reopening the NH-44 stretch along the Kundli-Singhu border, where farmers have been protesting against the Centre’s farm laws for over 10 months.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar chaired a meeting on the issue Wednesday evening. Home minister Anil Vij and several senior officers of the chief minister’s office and home department were present.
A senior officer told The Indian Express that discussions were held on the issue reopening NH-44 in wake of the ongoing case in Supreme Court. The next date of hearing in the case is September 20.
