Many farmers also brought uprooted electric meters from their tube wells, dumped them on the premises of PVVNL and asked the officials to deposit them in the office.

Lucknow: Farmers from across Western Uttar Pradesh intensified their ongoing protest by allegedly holding government officials hostage for several hours inside the Paschim Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (PVVNL) under the banner of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU). The protest is against installing electric meters on tube wells -- used mainly for irrigation purposes in the rural belt.

Protesting farmers said that this agitation is spreading fast and will soon engulf the whole of Uttar Pradesh. The government has already burnt its fingers with the farm laws, and now it has decided to install meters at tubewells, they said.

"Who gives the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath such suggestions?" they asked.

Many farmers also brought uprooted electric meters from their tube wells, dumped them on the premises of PVVNL and asked the officials to deposit them in the office.

"The government is not taking our demands seriously. As of now, we have only blocked one side of the road, but we will proceed further in the coming days if the government fails to address our demands," Naresh Tikait, president of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), told NewsClick, adding that "current government are selling the national assets built over the past seven decades to a few capitalist friends. Water, electricity, forest, land, factories, schools etc., are being sold to billionaires."
