Mumbai: Over 25000 farmers led by Akhil Bhartiya Kisan Sabha (ABKS), are marching towards Mumbai to block access to Mantralaya - the state legislature building, from Monday until their demands are met.
As the march moves along, more farmers from across Maharashtra - from Marathwada, Raigad, Vidarbha and other districts - are expected to join and the numbers are likely to multiply by the time the morcha reaches Mumbai on Sunday.
"We also want the state government to refrain from forceful acquisition of farm lands in the name of development projects like the super highway and the bullet train", AIKS secretary Raju Desle earlier said.
"Farmers in the state are reeling under the ripples of agrarian distress and they are under huge financial burden". We had even informed them about our march.
