Supreme Court Forms Committee for Protesting Farmers

News summary

The Supreme Court has constituted a high-powered committee chaired by former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Justice Nawab Singh to address the grievances of farmers protesting at the Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana. The committee, which includes former Haryana DGP BS Sandhu and agricultural experts, is tasked with resolving the issues raised by the farmers, who are demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) among other concessions. The court directed the committee to convene its first meeting within a week and emphasized that the issues should be addressed in a phased, non-political manner. Additionally, the court allowed farmers to relocate their protests to alternative sites to maintain public order and directed the committee to facilitate the reopening of the highway blocked by the demonstrations. This move follows a plea by the Haryana government challenging the high court's order to remove barricades at the Shambhu border.
