NEW DELHI : Congress-ruled Punjab’s proposed framework, aimed at negating the impact of the three recently implemented central farm bills , is likely to be presented in the state’s legislative assembly on Tuesday. Captain Amarinder Singh -led government’s framework is expected to focus on regulating the entry of private players in the agriculture sector and laying down the norms for their functioning. The focus is going to be on regulating private players, no one is blocking them. Congress president Sonia Gandhi has already conveyed to the Congress-ruled states to bring legislations negating the impact of the central laws on agriculture. The passage of the three farm laws by centre has led to a series of protests particularly in Punjab and Haryana with farmers and farm bodies demanding repeal of the laws.
