Traffic on the busy Mysuru-Nanjangud Road came to a halt for about half-an-hour as members of Karnataka State Sugarcane Growers Association and the Federation of Farmers Associations blocked the road at Hullahalli Circle and formed a human chain urging the Government for fulfilment of their various demands.
The protesters, led by Karnataka State Sugarcane Growers Association President Kurubur Shanthakumar, urged the Government to fix scientific price for sugarcane supplied to sugar factories and to provide compensation to farmers who lost their crops due to non availability of water among other demands.
