Thousands of farmers will stage a demonstration at the DC’s Office here on Feb.14 in protest against the Government’s negligence of the farming community.
Announcing this at a press meet here on Saturday Karnataka Sugarcane Growers Association President Kurubur Shanthakumar said farmers have been completely neglected by both the Central and State Government. Though the State has been reeling under the worst drought in over four decades, the Governments have failed in giving appropriate compensation for crop loss and not taken measures to extend agriculture loans, he said.
