New Delhi: The farmers' agitation, which lasted for more than a year, will conclude on Wednesday as the last batch of farmers return to their destinations paving way for public movement across Delhi-Ghazipur, Tikri and Singhu border once again.

While the barricades at the Singhu border were mostly dismantled and cleared on Tuesday, the farmers will completely pull out from the Ghazipur border, the main centre of their movement, on Wednesday. Besides that farmers will also vacate the tolls of Haryana as well.

Farmers' leader Rakesh Tikait will also return home with the supporters after performing a havan in the morning. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait will leave for Muzaffarnagar while taking out a rally. Rakesh Tikait will reach Sisauli from Ghazipur border via Muradnagar, Modinagar, Partapur, Meerut Shivaya Toll Mansoorpur, Sorampur at around 4 PM.

After reaching Sisauli, Rakesh Tikait will go to the platform from where he took a vow that he will not return home until the three laws are returned. Sitting on this platform, the farmer Messiah Baba Mahendra used to make decisions.

Reports suggest farmers will once again gather in huge numbers to welcome Tikait for the rally which will pass through several areas.

The farmers began leaving the protest sites after the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) - an umbrella organization of farmer bodies - suspended the agitation following the repeal of the Centre's three farm laws and the government conceding to its other demands.

Farmers will leave the Ghazipur border at 9 AM offering a sigh of relief to the district administration.

Farmers started leaving the protest site on the Delhi-Haryana border on Saturday after the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) suspended the agitation following the repeal of the Centre's three farm laws and the government conceding to its other demands.

Apart from the Singhu border, farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, had been protesting at Delhi's Tikri and Ghazipur borders from November 26 last year. The farm laws were repealed by Parliament on November 29.
