The Kisan Sangh demanded that the government waive the interest on their farm loans for the current season.

Farmers in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur district gave away their vegetables for free on Monday to protest against the impact of demonetisation on their businesses, PTI reported. Nearly 30,000 citizens queued up in the Dharna Sthal area as over 1 lakh kg of vegetables were handed out, PTI reported.

Vegetables prices have gone down drastically in the past couple of days, both in wholesale and open markets, said Hitesh Varu, president of the Chhattisgarh Yuva Pragatisheel Kisan Sangh. He added that the farmers were not even making as much they spent to cultivate their crops. The association demanded that the government waive their outstanding electricity bills upto July 2017, as well as the interest on farm loans for the current season. They have also demanded that sugar plantations be set up in high cultivation areas.
