Prohibitory orders in three districts ahead of PM visit to Jhunjhunu |  Times of India

Despite crackdowns and arrests before the ‘farmers march’ to Jaipur on February 22, farmers had organised blockades across the state. The movement led by the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) has been demanding loan waiver and a Minimum Support Price (MSP) as per the MS Swaminathan committee recommendations.

In a state committee meeting on February 27, the Kisan Sabha had decided to put forward the demands before Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is slated to visit Jhunjhunu on March 8.

The farmers’ leaders have been demanding to meet the Prime Minister during his visit to apprise him of the plight of the farmers here.

Former CPM MLA Amra Ram and vice president of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) which had spearheaded the farmers’ agitation said, “We have sent a request to the Prime Minister’s Office and waiting for its reply.”
