Meanwhile, as per reports, the state govt is planning to bring back a provision to bar non-agriculturists from buying farmland.

The earlier BJP govt had amended the Act in 2020 to help investors and industries buy farmland directly from farmers in Karnataka. The amendments removed restrictions on buying and selling agricultural plots by non-agriculturists.

The amendments allowed farmers to freely buy and sell land without any fear of getting into issues with revenue officials.
