Members of Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Association staged demonstration before Dindigul East and West taluk offices pressing for a charter of demands here on Tuesday.

Addressing the demonstration before East Taluk Office, TNFA district unit’s vice-president Raju said that house site pattas and old age pension were not given to thousands of eligible beneficiaries. The State government even stopped giving OAP to many who had been receiving monthly pension for over a long time. The government should distribute house site pattas and old age pension to all eligible persons immediately. Similar demonstrations were held before all taluk offices in the district.
