Bharat Bandh : Farmer protest

Hello World!
On 16 February 2024 the farmers' union has called for nationwide strike "Bharat Bandh," organized by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and Samyukta Kisna. Scheduled from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, farmers aimed to highlight unfulfilled promises and demand changes through chakka jams (road blockades) on major routes across the country.

This coordinated effort seeks to strengthen the farmers' voices and compel the government to adequately respond to their demands. According to India.com, various private and government offices, and village shops may remain shut on Friday. Besides, transportation, agricultural activities, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) rural works, and rural industrial and service sector institutions are likely to remain closed.

What they want??
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has written to Prime Minister demanding a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops based on the Swaminathan formula of C2 50 (input cost of capital 50%), legal guarantee of procurement, debt waiver, no hike in electricity tariff and no smart meters and they also demanded free 300 units of power for farming for domestic use and shops, comprehensive crop insurance, and a hike in pensions to ₹10,000 per month among others.

Thank you.
