Punjab: Farmers spill milk on the road during their 10 days 'Kisan Avkash' protest
The 10-day nationwide strike of farmers, united under the banner of the Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, will begin from today, June 1 and continue till June 10.
Demanding better prices of produce, the farmers of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana on Thursday will launch the “Gaon Bandh” (village blockade) agitation and stop supplies of milk and vegetables to cities, as a part of the strike.
Farmers in Faridkot throw their produce and hold back supplies like vegetable, fruits and milk from being supplied to cities, demanding farmer loan waiver and implementation of Swaminathan commission.
Farmers were also seen spill milk on the road during their 10 days 'Kisan Avkash' protest, in Ludhiana's Samrala.
Farmers have vowed to prevent the supply of agricultural produce and other essentials to cities in the state as part of the agitation, dubbed as the ‘gaon bandh’. “This has now become a nationwide agitation. We won’t go to cities, but city residents will have to drive down to villages to buy produce,” Shiv Kumar Sharma, president of the Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, told mediapersons.
