It formed a four-member committee (Bhupinder Singh Mann, Parmod Kumar Joshi, Ashok Gulati, Anil Ghanwat) to hear the farmers' bodies and the government and report within two months of its first sitting, which was to be held within ten days. The order also recorded that a few deaths had taken place at the protest sites, 'though not out of any violence'. Mann recused himself from the committee on 14 January 2021. [3][1][2]
