Farmers’ march to reach Mumbai on February 27: AIKS

Accusing the BJP-led Central and Maharashtra governments of betraying farmers, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) on Tuesday said several peasants' groups would once again take out a long march from Nashik beginning Wednesday.

About 50,000 farmers from 23 districts are expected to be part of the march, scheduled to reach Mumbai on February 27, to press for demands like loan waiver, minimum support price, irrigation facilities and pension for farmers.
