2. These grains have high level of toxicity due to excessive use of pesticides/fertilizer for higher output. Also, punjab has highest level of cancer cases in india.

3. Means GOI is procuring poor standard and dangerous food grains for its PDS. It is equivalent to slow poison.

6. This Wiki article shows that Punjab ground level water also has become toxic. Every govt has turned a blind eye.
7. How new farm bill will affect?
When private entity buys grains he will ensure that he buys good quality of grains.
This is where Punjab framers will suffer coz of their arrogance and greed.
They are trying to save their coffers as new bill will affect the at large.
