This march will be joined by people from thousands of villages on the way to Mumbai, where they plan to ‘gherao’ the Assembly building which is in session on the 12th of March.
More than 25 thousand farmers began the ‘Long March’ from Nasik to Mumbai yesterday under the leadership of All India Kisan Sabha.
This is a follow-up to protests and farmers’ agitations in the state of Maharashtra that started in 2016. Last year, after the massive Maharashtra bandh which went on for more than 11 days, the Fadnavis government had made certain commitments to the farmers which they have now turned their backs on.
