Farmers on Wednesday rejected the Centre's offer of making some key changes to the three farm Acts, along with a written assurance on continuing with the current minimum support price-based procurement system, further prolonging the stalemate. 

The Centre, in its proposals communicated in writing to the farmers, also suggested a raft of changes to the new farm Acts, such as power to states to register and charge levy on private mandis outside the regulated agricultural produce market committees (APMCs). It gave farmers the option to approach civil courts if they were not satisfied with the existing dispute resolution mechanism.
