Scores of tractor trolleys are expected to move towards Delhi between 12-15 January from Punjab and Haryana in preparations for the 'parallel parade.' However, the Supreme Court on 12 January has put a hold on the new controversial agriculture laws and has formed a four-member panel to hold talks with the farmers on the issue. Several agricultural organizations have expressed their opposition to a series of controversial reforms that seek to deregulate the prices and quantity sold of certain crops, as well as establish pathways for contract agriculture.
