Mumbai: Assembly nod to withdrawal of 3 farm bills

Description

Mumbai: The Maharashtra legislative assembly on Thursday cleared three proposals to withdraw the three farm law amendment bills which were introduced in the monsoon session in July. The state’s farm laws amendment bills were meant to be an improvement on the Centre’s farm laws. With the Centre repealing its three farm laws after a year-long protest by farmers, the Maharashtra government too felt that its amendments to the Farmers Produce Trade & Commerce (Promotion & Facilitation) Act 2020, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020, and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020 would not be required anymore. tnn
