Farmers oppose proposed amendment to APMC Act

Mysuru: Members of the Karnataka State Sugarcane Growers’ Association, along with other farmers, gathered in front of the Mysuru deputy commissioner’s office on Thursday to protest the state government’s move to amend the APMC Act. The protesters dubbed the proposal a move that would undermine the interests of the farmers.
Raising slogans criticising the anti-farmer amendment, the peasants said that it would allow multi-national corporations to acquire farming land for a steal. TNN
