Thousands of farmers are stationed at Delhi's Singhu and Tikri borders to protest against the Center's agricultural reforms enacted by the Centre in September. The protest has now entered the fourth day, and farmers have decided to hold a key meet to discuss their next move. Farmer unions believe the recent laws will dismantle the minimum support price (MSP) system. They are also pressing for the withdrawal of the proposed Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020, fearing it will lead to an end to subsidised electricity. Farmers say rules against stubble burning should also not apply to them.
