Mumbai: State to take back its three farm law bills

Description

Mumbai: The Maharashtra government will be taking back the three amendment bills it had cleared earlier this year to counter the farm bills introduced by the Centre. A proposal will be tabled in the state cabinet meeting on Wednesday. With the central government clearing the bill introduced in the Parliament to repeal the three farm laws which were opposed by farmer groups, protesting for nearly one year, the state government too feels the amendments introduced by the state will no longer be required. Once the proposal to take back the bills is cleared on Wednesday, it will be tabled in the winter sessions of the legislature to complete the procedure. The three amendment bills, introduced in July in the Assembly, were related to agriculture, cooperation, food and civil supplies, to counter the new farm laws enacted by the Centre.
