MADIKERI: Madikeri was engulfed in white and green as thousands of farmers across Kodagu took to the streets to voice their anguish against the state and central governments. Led by the Somwarpet Raitha Horata Samithi with support from numerous other organizations, the farmers opposed the move of the governments in declaring the C and D cultivated land as Reserve Forest. The slogans ‘Our land, Our right’, ‘Officers in AC Room and Farmers on the streets’ echoed clearly across the city as they demanded the government to withdraw the policy of declaring C and D cultivated land as forest regions. Following the massive protest rally across the city, the farmers gathered at Gandhi Maidan and a formal meeting was addressed by the farmer leaders.
