In the fourth round of meetings held Saturday morning, the state government and farmer union officials reached an agreeable conclusion to the current standoff between farmers and the Karnal district administration.
The state administration has informed farmer union leaders that an inquiry committee, chaired by a senior judge, will be formed to investigate the August 28 Karnal tragedy and the role of IAS official Ayush Sinha. Sinha will be on leave until the investigation is completed.
Farmers have also been guaranteed that two family members of farmer Sushil Kajal (who died after a police lathi charge at the Bastara toll plaza on August 28) will be provided jobs.
