Farmers in seven states have announced a 10-day strike, starting 1 June. The farmers, under the banner of the Rashtriya Kisan Maha Sangh, are protesting to demand loan waivers and implementation of the MS Swaminathan Committee recommendations.
- Farmers have called a 10-day strike in Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala
- Daily supplies such as milk and vegetables are likely to be hit over the course of the strike
Protests Remain Peaceful, But Vegetable Prices Move North
As their agitation entered the third day on Sunday, 3 June, farmers in many states dumped their produce on roads as a mark of protest while vegetable prices rose in several urban areas.
The stir, however, remained peaceful even as political rivals targeted the BJP-ruled Centre over the stir. Madhya Pradesh remained largely calm on the third day of the 10-day agitation by farmers demanding remunerative prices for their produce and waiver of farm loans.
