Urging the State Government to provide 50 more days of additional work under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), farm workers staged protests in Dharwad taluk on Tuesday.
The demonstrations were staged under the aegis of Raitha Krishi Karmikara Sanghatane. While a demonstration was staged in front of the zilla panchayat office in Dharwad by members of Mugali unit of the sanghatane, another demonstration was staged by sanghatane members at Honnapur village in Dharwad taluk.
Addressing the protestors in Dharwad, sanghatane leader Deepa said that because of adverse weather, farmers have lost their yield and consequently, farm workers did not have any work for their livelihood.
