Mandya: Seeking fulfillment of their various demands, which chiefly included fixation of FRP (Fair and Remunerative Price) for Sugarcane at Rs. 4,500 per tonne and Milk Procurement price at Rs. 40 per litre, thousands of farmers picketed the Mandya Deputy Commissioner’s (DC’s) Office here on Thursday.
Thousands of farmers, along with bullock carts and tractors converged at Sir M. Visvesvaraya statue and went in a procession to the DC Office, and succeeded in picketing the Office. The protesting farmers who parked their bullock carts and tractors in the DC Office premises, raised slogans against the Government and the authorities for failing to address the demands of the farmers.
