"On December 24, a highly decomposed dead body of a boy was recovered in the pond in a ridge area near Maidan Garhi village," said Atul Kumar Thakur, DCP (South). After further investigation, one Bittu was apprehended and interrogated in the case and after sustained interrogation allegedly revealed that he developed a liking for the victim's mother and wanted to marry her, the DCP said. Not a single benefit, a lot of harm: Arvind Kejriwal on farm laws NEW DELHI : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Fri- day claimed the Centre's new agricultural reform laws will not benefit farmers in any way and do a lot of harm. According to the BJP, Kejriwal said, the laws will enable farmers to sell their produce outside mandis. But they only get half the price for their crop outside mandis so how is that a bene- fit. Farmers from various parts of the country have been camping at different border points of Delhi for four weeks now to demand repeal of the three agri laws, which were voted through in Parlia- ment in September amid strong protests by opposition parties. Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party have come out strongly in support of protesting farmers. Earlier this month, Kejriwal had visited Singhu border, one of the protest sites, and reviewed arrangements made for farmers by the city government. "BJP says that these laws will not harm farmers. But what is their benefit? They say that now the farmers will be able to sell their crop any- where outside the market. But outside the market, the crop is sold at half the price. How is this a benefit? The truth is that these laws will do a lot of harm and don't have a single benefit," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi. The three farm laws have been projected by the central government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middlemen and allow farmers to sell their pro- duce anywhere in the country. However, protesting farmers have expressed apprehension that these laws would pave the way for eliminating the safety cushion of minimum support price (MSP) and do away with mandis that ensure income, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates. They have repeatedly rejected a govern- ment offer to amend the farm laws and give a "written assurance" on continuing the MSP system and stuck to their demand for the repeal of the legislations -- the Farmers (Empowerment and Pro- tection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce.
