“Zip-ties: what are they for?”

Please vet your sources.

People are falling for so much utterly ridiculous shit, my God.

It is a FACT that GOI accepts that there are faults worthy of amendments. This leads is to an entire new discussion that govt still isn’t willing to believe that there are implementation faults & not just faults in the clauses.


The eyewash that the proposal is aimed to put better clauses in place. A very nice example is contract farming column itself. GOI proposal suggests that ‘PAN card registration will continue but state govt can register the trader if it WANTS to- literally shifting onus to state.

Another example is that onus is shifted on farmer himself to go to the higher court with his expenses. The trader can choose to go to SDM at primary level. Both the options are kept open. This amendment proposal is literally a joke.

Regarding the MSP, govt proposal nowhere cites that it will be assured at C2+50 formula. It is indicated that a written assurance will be given. This is very ambiguous for govt with legal battery of dozens. And disappointing too.

There are concerns on payment systems that haven’t been addressed in the proposal and have been kept as ‘as per understanding between trader and farmer’. This is ambiguous again. Why isn’t DBT assured at govt agency procurement?
