Indian farmers paused their protests after the latest round of talks with the government, even as a key section of growers disagreed with the proposed deal.
The negotiations — held late into Sunday night — followed almost a week of protest by tens of thousands of growers in the north of the country. The farmers have been massing at the Punjab-Haryana border since Feb. 12, prevented from marching toward Delhi by police barricades of barbed wire and metal barriers.
