Farmers to organise panchayat on March 31
Description
Various farmers organisations will hold a Raitha Maha Panchayat at Rani Channamma Circle in Belagavi on March 31 to protest against the new farm laws brought out by the Union and State governments. Farmers’ leader Rakesh Tikait is likely to address the gathering. Akhila Bharat Samyukta Kisan Morcha, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha, Hasiru Sene and others will organise the protest. Farmers leaders like Chukki Nanjundaswamy, Suresh Babu Patil, Sidagouda Modagi, Jayashree Gurannanavar, Choonappa Pujari and others said the rally would also aim to create awareness about the dangers of the new laws. “We had requested the district administration to accord permission to hold the rally in the district stadium or the CPED ground. But the officers have denied this. The DCs in Haveri and Shivamogga had given permission. We don’t know why we have been denied. Hence, we have decided to hold the rally at Rani Channamma Circle,” Ms. Guranannanavar said.
