Farmers from Maharashtra’s Puntamba village in Ahmednagar district launched an agitation on Wednesday seeking government subsidy for sugarcane and onion crops besides other issues related to agriculture.
The agitation, which started near Puntamba’s gram panchayat office, will continue till June 5 and intensify beyond that date if the State Government did not take notice of the farmers’ demands, said Puntamba village head Dhananjay Dhanwate.
The protestors were also joined from other taluks of Ahmednagar as well as neighbouring Nashik district.
