Commission to hold two-day sitting in the district from November 13
An independent commission appointed by the Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, an umbrella body of farmers’ organisations across the country, to study farmers’ grievances will hold a two-day sitting covering the upland areas of Kozhikode district from November 13.
It is the first such people’s commission appointed by a major farmers’ organisation as part of preparing a comprehensive field study report and submitting it to the Union and State Governments for appropriate follow-up action.
Mahasangh leaders said the commission would meet as many farmers as possible from upland areas like Chakkittappara and Kattippara and record their grievances with the latest facts and figures. Apart from the scheduled panchayat-level meetings, a public sitting will be held at Kariyathumpara on November 13 for farmers and their representatives, they informed.
