New Delhi, Dec 12 : The first action has been taken in Madhya Pradesh under the new Contract Farming law introduced by the Narendra Modi government. A company had stopped procurement after price rise, but after action was taken the same company has agreed to purchase the produce of farmers.
The Agriculture Department of Madhya Pradesh has taken action under the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Contract Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Act 2020 after a complaint was received.
U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, urged federal leaders to reach a compromise as negotiations continue for a COVID-19 relief package before the holiday and highlighted new legislation to incentivize young people to live and work in rural communities Wednesday night in his first town hall since Election Day.
Delgado held his 48th town hall virtually on Facebook Live on Wednesday night from Washington. More than 75 constituents presubmitted questions before the town hall or in the comments on the Facebook Live video feed.
Delgado plans to continue to hold the events with constituents through his second term set to begin in January.
