The Congress government in Karnataka has said that it will roll back the amendments made to the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act and introduce a reformed law for management of the agricultural markets.
Following the farmers’ protest, the Centre had repealed the APMC Act, and two other farm laws. However, the Karnataka government, during the BJP regime, had not repealed the APMC Act.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H.K. Patil and Agricultural Marketing Minister Shivananda Patil on Wednesday held a meeting and said they would repeal the APMC Act and introduce a new law with reformed measures.
