Farmers' protest at Delhi borders enters 24th day; traffic advisory issued

The farmers' protest entered its 24th day on Saturday, even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the government was willing to hold talks with farmers. Defending the new farm laws, the prime minister said they were in the works for decades and those who are opposing these laws now for gaining lost political ground were once votaries of the same reforms. The opposition parties were against the new laws as they were upset that he would get the credit, Modi said, adding that he did not seek any credit but nobody should mislead farmers.
