Maharashtra, India veg supply to return to normal as farmers reach agreement
A crucial meeting of various farmer organisations and farmers, who are protesting, took place on Thursday in Nasik, where they unanimously decided to normalise the supply of vegetables and fruits.
But they warned the government and gave a deadline of June 11 to come with positive solutions for their demands or else the farmers will protest outside ZP and collector's office across the state on June 12 and 13 June. If the demands are not met, farmers will also stage a rail-roko.
A new core committee of members from 21 different organisations today met, which after discussion decided to give an ultimatum to the government again and also discussed how to intensify this agitation across the state.
From the last 8 days, farmers are protesting against the government for not giving them a loan waiver, minimum support price for crop, implementation of Swaminathan Commission report and pension for farmers.
