Farmers call for bandh on March 26

Farmers protesting against the laws by the Union and State governments have called for a Karnataka Bandh on March 26. Samyukta Horata – Karnataka, a coalition of farmer, labour, and Dalit organisations, gave a call for a Statewide bandh at a protest rally led by national farmers’ leaders Rakesh Tikait and Darshan Pal in the city, on Monday. Samyukta Kisan Morcha, which is leading the farmers’ movement nationally, has called for a Bharat Bandh on March 26, to mark four months of farmers’ protest at Delhi borders starting from November 26. The Karnataka Bandh is in solidarity with the Bharat Bandh, farmers’ leader Badagalpura Nagendra announced at the rally here. “The farm laws not only affect us farmers, but hands over the entire food sector to big corporates, adversely impacting consumers as well. Everyone who eats food is affected and hence all of us need to protest,” he said.
