										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
