Agriculture Ministry officials get ready for Monday's meeting with protesting farmers

The protesting farmers are demanding that the three farm laws be repealed and MSP should get a legal backing. The government is also sticking to its guns that the new laws are for the good of farmers and has asked the farmers' unions to suggest an alternative. The government has also proposed a committee to review the existing MSP mechanism and suggest ways to maximise benefits for farmers by tweaking the system.
