Bengaluru: Strongly condemning the amendments to Land Reforms, APMC and Labour Acts effected by the Central and State Governments, several Farmer Associations, along with a host of Trade Unions and other social organisations, have called for a Karnataka Bandh on Sept. 28, to press the Government for repealing the amendments.
Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha President Kodihalli Chandrashekar said that farmers have been demanding the Government to repeal the Land Reforms Act and APMC Act amendments, which are a death blow to the farming community. But the Government has passed the amended Bills in the ongoing Legislature Session and as such, it has become inevitable for the farming community to call for a State Bandh, which has been fixed for Sept. 28.
