What's the story

Farmers protesting against the agricultural laws in Haryana have threatened a prolonged agitation in Karnal, alleging inaction by authorities in the matter of police excess on demonstrators on August 28.

Talks between the protesters and the state government remained inconclusive for the second consecutive day on Wednesday.

Last evening, the farmers had set up tents outside the government offices in Karnal.

Details

Farmers reportedly started erecting permanent structures in Karnal

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said, "We may have a permanent protest like Singhu and Tikri border here."

Tikait added that they do not want ongoing protests at Delhi's border to be disturbed by the one in Karnal.

Reportedly, by Wednesday evening, farmers had started setting up permanent structures with iron frames and waterproof covers in Karnal.

Farmers demand Karnal SDM's suspension

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM)—an umbrella body of over 40 farmers' groups that is leading the protest—demanded Sinha's suspension, accusing the government of protecting and promoting "the murderous official".

Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) Haryana unit chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni said, "When farmers are booked for even road blockades, why not take action against the officer who ordered (the police) to break heads."
