Farmers will stage demonstration before the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly on March 18 in support of their pending demands.
The demonstration would be organised under the banner of Sanyukat Kisan Morcha (Joint Farmers' Front), a powerful umbrella organisation of farmers' bodies in the state.
Senior front leader Virendra Pandey said that thousands of farmers from all the 18 districts of the state would gather in the state capital and stage demonstration before the Assembly as the government failed to honour its commitments to the farmers.
The Chhattisgarh government had announced to provide a bonus of Rs 270 per quintal to farmers besides free electricity upto five horse power irrigation pumps and interest free loans, Pandey said. But the government failed to keep its promises, he added.
