Mysuru: As part of the Nationwide ‘Rail Roko’ protest seeking fulfilment of their demands, farmers under the banner of Rajya Raitha Sanghatanegala Okkuta, attempted to lay siege to the City Railway Station here this noon.
The protestors urged for fulfilment of their various demands which chiefly included introduction of a law that guarantees Minimum Support Price (MSP) based on M.S. Swaminathan Report; complete farm loan waiver and introduction of a pension scheme for all farmers aged over 60 years, among others. More than 50 farmers converged at the City Railway Station for staging ‘Rail Roko.’ As soon as they attempted to barge into the Railway Station, the Police bundled them into Police vans.
