Farmers’ protest Dwell updates: As hundreds of farmers keep on to protest at many borders of the nationwide funds demanding the repeal of 3 new farm legal guidelines, the govt on Wednesday proposed to give a “penned assurance” that the current Minimum Help Price (MSP) routine for procurement will keep on.

On the other hand, the farmers’ unions turned down the proposal and mentioned they would intensify their agitation right until the govt accepts their demand from customers for a total repeal of the 3 legal guidelines. The govt also proposed to make needed amendments on at the very least 7 challenges, which includes a single to allay fears about the weakening of the mandi program.
