Greater Noida farmers agree to new compensation

Greater Noida: The conflict between the residents of Ghori Bachhera village and Noida police and administration, seems to have blown over after a team of farmers met UP cabinet secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh in New Delhi on Tuesday evening. The Ghori Bachhera representatives reportedly agreed to a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for each of the five deceased who were killed in the police firing recently. This is, significantly, the first official admission that five farmers were killed in the confrontation of August 13, rather than the four the police had initially claimed.
