As farmers’ agitation across the country continued for the second day, the supply of essential commodities like vegetables, fruits and milk have been severely hit.
According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, there was a shortage of milk across various parts of the state as tankers were stopped by the agitating farmers from entering towns. On Saturday, there were reports of a minor scuffle from different pockets.
In Ganganagar, the agitating farmers have put up stalls selling milk and vegetables on the bypass road. Farmers are selling their produce on Padampur road, Abohar bypass and Hanumangarh road.
Besides, there were reports of farmers spilling milk on the road. On Friday, there were protests in Shahpura, Nohar and Chomu.
Police and the state administration have made proper arrangements to deal with the agitation.
Farmers’ speak
Speaking to TOI over the phone, Santveer Singh, member of Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, said that bandh was successful in the northern part of Rajasthan. “We have begun our agitation as part of a nationwide 10-day Gaon Bandh protest. The farmers in Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh have set up their stalls where they are selling vegetables and milk at a relatively cheaper price,” Singh said.
