Protesting farmers who have been tenting at Delhi borders for the very last 39 times braving bone-chilling cold and now rains have threatened to intensify their protest if their two big needs — repeal of the three new farm regulations and authorized backing for the minimum amount help rate (MSP) — are not accepted by the federal government in present day conference.

Countless numbers of farmers have been protesting at various borders of the countrywide capital for far more than a month demanding repeal of the Farmers (Empowerment and Defense) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, Farmers Deliver Trade and Commerce (Marketing and Facilitation) Act, and the Crucial Commodities (Amendment) Act.

Enacted in September 2020, the federal government has offered these regulations as big farm reforms and aimed at rising farmers’ revenue, but protesting farmers have raised concerns that these legislations would weaken the MSP and mandi techniques and leave them at the mercy of massive corporates.

The federal government has taken care of these apprehensions are misplaced and has ruled out repealing the regulations.
