Indian farmers have ended year-long mass protests after Prime Minister Narendra Modi abandoned his push for agricultural reforms
Thousands of people have been camped on the outskirts of the capital New Delhi since last year to campaign against agricultural laws.
Modi's Hindu-nationalist government rushed through a repeal of the laws last month in a rare backdown, and farmer representatives said on Thursday they had agreed to stand down after further concessions. Thousands of people have been camped on the outskirts of the capital New Delhi since last year to campaign against laws they said would have led to a corporate takeover of the sector.Protests had carried on in smaller numbers after the repeal as farmers sought additional support measures, including compensation for the families of hundreds of farmers they say died during the protests.
