Farmers End Protest in Delhi After Midnight March
Thousands of farmers who were protesting at Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border against various issues including massive loan debt, high GST rates, etc. on Tuesday ended the protest after the cops removed the barricades to allow 400 odd tractors to enter the capital. 

Sources said that the farmers were able to reach an agreement with the Union government. Home Minister Rajnath Singh met with the leaders of the farmers and agreed to fulfill 7 of their 9 demands. The farmers then set off to go back to their homes. However, schools and colleges in Ghaziabad will remain shut today.
