After three days of intense protests in Nagpur, farmers demanding an immediate loan waiver have called off their agitation following the Maharashtra government’s decision to form a high-level committee to study the issue and submit its report within six months.

The protests, which had brought traffic to a standstill in parts of Nagpur, ended late Thursday night after a meeting between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde, and a delegation of farmer leaders in Mumbai. At the meeting, the government announced the formation of a committee headed by MITRA CEO Praveen Pardeshi. The panel will submit its report by April 2026, after which a final decision on a farm loan waiver is expected by June.
