In Hassan

Condemning the police action against protesters on a march to Delhi opposing some recent laws, members of farmers’ organisations took out a protest march in Hassan on Friday. Activists of CITU, CPM, Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha, Dalit Sangharsha Samiti, and Rajya Raitha Sangha participated in the protest march, which began at Hemavati Statue Circle here. They raised slogans against the Union government for its recent policies on the farm sector and also the police action against the farmers on the protest. Dharmesh, district CITU president, said the Centre had stopped the farmers’ protest rally in Delhi and the police had used force against them. “Farmers will not bow down to these tactics. We will continue with the protests against the anti-farm policies of the Centre,” he said. The protesters also tried to lay siege to the office of Postal Department near the city bus stand. As the police did not allow them to enter the office, they staged a dharna on the road, affecting the traffic. The police took the protesters into custody and released them later.
