Thousands of Maharashtra Farmers March towards Mumbai, Pawar to Join Sit-in Tomorrow

News 18  

Thousands of farmers from across 21 districts of Maharashtra have gathered at Nashik on Saturday and began a march to cover the 180 kilometres to state capital Mumbai. NCP president Sharad Pawar on Friday had said he will take part in the protest in Mumbai to express support for farmers agitating against the new agri- marketing laws enacted by the central government. Talking to reporters in Kolhapur, around 375km from here, the former Union agriculture minister noted that the agitating farmers have rejected the Centre’s offer to suspend the new laws for 18 months. Farmers, agitating for nearly two months outside Delhi, are demanding a repeal of the agri laws which seek to encourage private trade, contract farming and remove stock limit on foodgrains. Farmers near Delhi borders will take out a tractor rally on the Republic Day, sources in Delhi Police have confirmed adding that police are considering multiple routes for the rally.
