Farmer talks inconclusive again, another round on Jan 19

The ninth round of discussion between farmers who are demanding repeal of the three agriculture laws and the centre remained inconclusive.  The two sides will now meet again on January 19. The talks assume significance as the SC-appointed committee is likely to start consulting stakeholders from January 19. Leaders of the 40 farmers' unions negotiating with the centre have said they will not appear before the panel saying the appointed members were already in favour of the farm laws.
