Indian farmer's strike could cause fruit & veg shortage
This is probably the first time farmers have resorted to a strike in the state. Distressed over falling prices of agricultural produce and other issues, the farmers have demanded a loan waiver.
With the farmers going on strike, cities like Mumbai and Pune are likely to face a shortage of fruits and vegetables.
On Tuesday night, representatives of the Kisan Kranti Morcha, a state-level coordination committee of various farmers’ outfits, met the chief minister at his official residence in Mumbai to discuss the issue, but the talks remained inconclusive, as farmers refused to postpone their agitation.
