Two farmer rallies were conducted at Lower PMG separately. One was organised by Odisha Krushak Sangathan Samanwaya Samiti (OKSSS), a platform of farmer bodies of the state, and the second one was conducted by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), a platform of different farmer bodies of the country to take up issues of the peasants.
