Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene members took out a rally in Belagavi on Friday to protest against what they called government apathy towards farmers’ issues.

They formed a human chain at Rani Channamma Circle and stopped vehicles for some time. They walked to the Deputy Commissioner’s office shouting slogans against the government. They submitted a memorandum to the government through the Additional Deputy Commissioner Suresh Itnal and dispersed.

Their demands include market intervention and public procurement to arrest the fall in prices, payment of sugarcane arrears to farmers, completion of irrigation projects in north Karnataka, release of crop loss relief to farmers, implementation of Dr. Swaminathan report to ensure remunerative prices for farm produce and social security for farmers.

Raghavendra Nayak and other leaders were present.
