3. For dispute resolution, farmers can approach civil courts (now limited to dist authorities)
4. Land related provisions cannot be written into contract with companies.. to prevent auction of farm lands
5. Centre will give written assurance on continuing with existing MSP procurement regime
6. Govt will resolve farmers' concerns on stubble burning
7. Electricity amendment bill will not tinker with existing subsidy regime for farmers
