Chandigarh:

Punjab farmers who had set up rail blockades across the state to protest the centre’s controversial farm laws will allow trains (both passenger and goods) to resume service from Monday night, it was announced after a meeting between farmers’ unions and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

The farmers’ unions said it would lift the blockade for a 15-day period, but warned that it would be re-imposed if talks to address and resolve their issues failed to take place within that period.

Amarinder Singh, tweeting shortly after the announcement was made, said he welcomed the farmers’ decision and urged the centre to resume rail services to the state.

I welcome this step since it will restore normalcy to our economy. I urge the central government to resume rail services to Punjab forthwith,” Mr Singh tweeted.
