Negotiations between farmer unions and the government have broken down, with the former insisting on their demand to repeal three new agricultural laws and later rethink their proposal on these laws for about 18 months.
Farmers have been protesting against three newly enacted farm laws since November 26 at various borders of the national capital – the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmer Empowerment and Protection Agreement on Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Act 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
