Mathadi leaders Shashikant Shinde and Narendra Patil met Minister for Cooperation and Marketing Subhash Deshmukh and had sought more clarity on the role of commission agents in APMCs as well as transactions on eNAM


After traders at Vashi in Maharashtra called for a one-day bandh on Tuesday against the Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing Development and the Regulation Act Ordinance, over 4-5 lakh Mathadi ( workers who carry loads) workers across the state have decided to join the bandh. Due to this, most mandis in Maharashtra may remain shut on Tuesday.

The Ordinance, submitted by Cooperation Minister Subhash Deshmukh in the winter session of the state Assembly, has been opposed by Mathadi workers across the state.The call for the bandh has also received support from traders at Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Latur which have been declared as Markets of National Importance (MNIs) by the state government.

Mathadi leaders Shashikant Shinde and Narendra Patil met with the Minister for Cooperation and Marketing Subhash Deshmukh and had sought more clarity on the role of commission agents in agricultural produce market committees (APMCs) as well as transactions on eNAM.

They are opposing their lack of representation on the new nominated boards that would come up in the MNIs and also new government resolutions (GRs) on loans given to Mathadis by the credit societies. According to Mathadi labour unions, there are approximately four to five lakh Mathadi workers in the state.

Mathadis across the state would be joining the strike. Therefore, all the mandis in Nashik, including Lasalgaon, Latur, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, among others, will remain shut.
