KURUKSHETRA: With no headway after several rounds of talks between protesting farmers and administration, hundreds of farmers spent the Monday night on the National Highway-44 at Pipli.

They have been demanding procurement of sunflower at MSP and the release of the arrested farmers.

Various farmer unions have already announced that they were ready for a long haul and would continue to block the NH-44 till their demands were met.

A fresh round of talks is expected to be held between the district administration and farmer leaders at around 10am on Tuesday.
