A year after farmers' unions launched their protest against the Centre's three farm laws, the laws are dead. However, the farmers have stayed put at their protest sites at Delhi's borders, pushing for their remaining demands.

The government had brought three laws, first as ordinances and then as bills passed by Parliament: The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
