Mangalore, Nov 7, 2013: The district unit of the Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha (KPRS) organized a day long Dharna Satyagraha in front of Deputy Commissioner’s office on November 7, Thursday urging to fulfill their demands.

Addressing the protestors, K R Shriyan, president of KPRS said that the protest has been staged to pressurize the government to fulfill long-pending demands of the farmers.

 

 

He also said that the government must issue the title deed to the farmers, who have submitted the applications years before on their notice. They must also provide an opportunity to give declaration to the farmer’s land which has been acquired.

Some of the problems raised are issuing of farmers’ housing scheme, the fixing of support price as suggested by the Swaminathan committee, and the opening of grain purchase centres prior to harvesting season.
