Farmers plan demonstration on March 14
Staff Reporter
Coimbatore: Tamilaga Vivasayigal Sangham has planned a demonstration on March 14 and a debt relief agitation near Badrakaliamman Temple in Mettuppalayam.
A release from M.R. Sivasamy said that the Union budget has stated that loans availed by small farmers till March 31, 2007 would be waived. This would result in 50 per cent of the small farmers not getting any waiver benefit. He also pointed out that there had not been any announcement on waiver of jewel loans taken by the farmers. As per the budget announcement, middle level and big farmers having a land holding of over five acres could opt for one time settlement by paying 25 per cent of the outstanding to get the rest 75 per cent waived.
Mr. Sivasamy urged the Union Government to extend loan waiver to all farmers instead of discriminating them as small, medium and big farmers.
