It is indeed a shame that a country that projects a growth rate of almost 10% in its economy, still has these problems prevalent. Are economic gains only for the rich to get richer?? I hope these protests reach the ears of the state government and they take the necessary action asap.
Let me know in what way I can help
Our resolution to stand for our beloved farmers has become stronger. We are with you brothers!
In Solidarity.
