New Delhi: The fourth and most crucial round of talks between the representatives of protesting farmers and the Centre was held on Thursday over the agriculture laws. The meeting between the farmers from Punjab and Haryana and the government started at 12 noon in Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan.

Over 35 leaders of different farmer organizations reached Vigyan Bhavan. As part of their 'Dilli Chalo' march, farmers have currently been staging protests at four border points of the national capital - Singhu, Noida, Ghazipur and Tikri - to press their demand to repeal the three farm laws.

Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held discussions with Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on December 2 on ways to dispel concerns over the new farm laws.
