Farmers seek unconditional withdrawal of three farm laws

Farmers and agricultural labourers under the aegis of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) took out a tractor rally here on Thursday, seeking unconditional withdrawal of the three new farm laws.

Farmers from across Prakasam district came riding hundreds of tractors and motorcycles for the rally organised by AIKSCC district convenor Ch. Ranga Rao to express their solidarity with their counterparts agitating in the national capital.

They urged the Central government to ensure remunerative price for farm produce as per the formula suggested by agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan and increase the quantum of the Prime Minister's Kisan Yojana benefits to at least ₹18,000 taking into consideration the rising input cost.
