Farmers and representatives from several villages, including Niladripur, Kantia Garh, Khatuakuda, Mayurapada, Gokharakuda, Laxmipur, and Humma, attended the meeting.

Participants unanimously opposed allowing any private company to operate on the salt flats. They decided to convene another meeting soon to finalise an action plan.
