Talks between farmers and Haryana state officials over permission for a protest march to the Karnal headquarters have failed. 11 farmer leaders including Rakesh Tikait, who were present at the meeting are returning to the Karnal grain market, where the kisan mahapanchayat awaits. The farmer leaders are expected to announce that the march will go ahead even if the talks failed.

As farmers protesting against the new farm laws called a Mahapanchayat against the lathicharge on farmers in Karnal on August 28, security has been ramped up and personnel from Border Security Force (BSF) and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) have been deployed in new Anaj Mandi area in Karnal. The farmers have called for a mahapanchayat and a march to the district HQ. Thousands of farmers are joining today’s mahapanchayat against police brutality.

A total of 11 farmers leaders have been called for talks with Karnal officials ahead of the planned protest march to the district headquarters, which doubles as the state’s mini secretariat. They are discussing permission for the march as initially permission had only been given for the mahapanchayat.

In view of mahapanchayat, the administration has announced internet shutdown and SMS services in Karnal, Kurukshetra, Panipat, Kaithal and Jind and imposed Section 144. Recently, farmers held a mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar, in which a historic crowd had come.

Rakesh Tikait, Yogendra Yadav, among other farmer leaders, who were among those on stage at the mahapanchayat held at the Karnal grain market, are at the meeting. Haryana Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni had said after the mahapanchayat , the farmers would march to and indefinitely gherao Karnal district headquarters, which doubles as the state’s mini secretariat.

Karnal SP Ganga Ram Punia said district administration and police have made necessary security arrangements in wake of the Kisan Mahapanchayat. A total of 40 companies have been deployed to maintain law and order. Public activities are going on without interruption.

The administraton want Kisan Mahapanchayat to be conducted peacefully and conflict to be resolved through mutual conversation. Police will take action if law and order is disturbed, the SP said.

Haryana Home Minister, Anil Vij said the state administration has made all arrangements (for Kisan Mahapanchayat). No one will be allowed to take the law into their hands. We appeal to our farmer brothers to peacefully conduct their public meeting.

The Haryana Police had lathi-charged protesting farmers at Karnal’s Gharaunda toll plaza on August 28. Reports said at least 10 farmers were injured after the police started a lathi charge at a group of farmers who had blocked traffic on a highway on their way to Karnal in Haryana to protest a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) meeting.

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
