Farmers' stage blockade in Sikar

Demanding implementation of the recommendations of the Swaminathan Committee and crop loan waiver, a group of farmers today staged blockage but withdrew it later after getting invitation for talks with a group of ministers in Jaipur tomorrow.
"We have received an invitation for talks to discuss the issues with a group of ministers on Tuesday. A delegation will be visiting Jaipur tomorrow," President of Akhil Bhartiya Kisan Sabha and former MLA, Amra Ram said here.
