On the fourth day of the protests by farmers in Karnal against the brutal August 28 police lathicharge that led to the death of one farmer- the farmers lifted their protests.
This happened as the farm leaders reached an agreement with the district administration.
The farmers had been demanding compensation for the family of Sushil Kajal who succumbed to injuries resulting from the police lathicharge.
