Farmers to March From Nashik to Mumbai Again
As meeting with CM fails, Kisan Sabha says this time the number of protesters will be double.
All Indian Kisan Sabha (AIKS) members met Devendra Fadnavis at Sahyadri on Sunday, but despite the chief minister’s assurances they later confirmed that a second long march from Nashik to Mumbai would go ahead as planned.
The week-long march will leave Nashik on February 20; the state legislative session will start on February 25. The farmers’ demands include immediate drought relief, loan waiver, MSP at one-and-a-half the full cost of production, a profarmer insurance scheme and increased pensions.
