Farm workers who have been cultivating on bagair hukum land for several decades now took out a protest march in Dharwad on Monday seeking title deeds for the land they have been cultivating.
They took out the protest march under the aegis of Akhil Bharat Krishi Karmikara Sanghatane (AIKKMS), staged a demonstration in front of the tahsildar’s office in Dharwad and urged the State Government to issue to title deeds for bagair hukum cultivators and also allow them to submit Form No 57.
Addressing the protestors, district president of AIKKMS Deepa Dharwad said that lakhs of poor farm workers across the State have been cultivating barren (Kushki) and waste revenue land for close to seven-eight decades and that land has been the lone source of income for them.
