It is time to stock your veggies and milk as farmers are set to go on Maha-Padav (sit-in) in Udaipur from Thursday, 15-June. Udaipur is one of the seven divisional head-quarters where farmers will carry out the Maha-Padav.

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) has threatened to launch protest across Rajasthan if State government failed to meet its demand. BKS had demanded minimum support prices (MSP) for farm produce and organization of a special assembly session in the state parliament to discuss farmer issues.

Kailash Gandolia, BKS State General secretary said that the farmers will come with their families and cattles and will cook at the divisional headquarters. This will continue till the Government meets its demands. The agitation will also be carried out in Jaipur, Kota, Jodhpur and Sikar.

Gandolia said that the farmers had received a good harvest this year, after two years of drought, but the Government did not purchase crops like mustard, moong dal and groundnut at MSP.

Reports have been received in the city that milk vendors have already started informing their customers that they should stock milk at least for 15-May given the state wide strike. A similar advice has also been given by vegetable and fruit vendors in parts of city.
