NEW DELHI: With thousands of farmers stepping up pressure on the government to repeal the three new agricultural laws, an SBI report on Monday suggested a five-point strategy to resolve the deadlock.
The government had passed three agricultural bills in September with the aim to change the way agricultural produce is marketed, sold and stored across the country.
