Farmers protesting at Delhi's Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur borders will take out a victory march on the way back to their homes after protesting for more than a year. Specific arrangements have been made along the highways for the same.
The Victory march was planned for yesterday but due to the grim Chopper Crash incident at Tamil Nadu in which 13 people were killed including General Bipin Rawat, it was postponed.
Farmers have started vacating various protest sites in Delhi and cops are all set to remove barricades. Following the announcement of the central government to form a committee to look into their demands including a legal guarantee for MSP, farmers decided to call off their 15-months long agitation.

"We will talk, pray and meet the people who helped us. People have started vacating already, it will take 4-5 days. I will leave on December 15," said Rakesh Tikait who was spearheading the protest.
After the announcement of the Prime Minister to repeal three controversial farms laws on November 19, the farmers did not call off the protest and remained at the protest sites citing their other demands which included a legal guarantee for MSP and cancellation of FIRs against the protesting farmers. They decided to budge only after the center sent an official proposal on the demands of the farmers to a committee of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha including five members.
The central government agreed to set up a committee to look into the matter of MSP. This committee will consist of Government officials, experts from the Agricultural field, and representatives of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha. The government also decided to cancel all the FIRs against protesting farmers.
