Govt, farmer unions agree on 2 issues, but not on repeal of laws, MSP

The Centre on Wednesday agreed on the farm unions’ two less sticking demands – decriminalisation of stubble burning in new ordinance on air quality management in NCR and adjoining areas, and not to go ahead with the proposed Electricity (Amendment) Bill. A consensus to discuss two core demands such as repeal of farm laws and legal guarantee to MSP in the next meeting on January 4 was also arrived at.
