Farmers hold protest in Punjab
Farmers in Punjab on Monday staged protests against the Centre’s agriculture-related ordinances and demanded that they be withdrawn immediately.
They opposed the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Ordinance, and an amendment in the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, which have been tabled as bills for discussion during the Parliament’s Monsoon Session.
The ordinances seek to include private players in agriculture and promote the hurdle-free sale of produce, but the farmers argue that they will bring about corporate dominance.
