Farmers stage ‘rasta roko’

Sangareddy: A farmer fainted during a ‘rasta roko’ in Ghanpur near Kolcharam when he was allegedly hit by ASI Anjaiah on Tuesday. The farmers were staging a rasta roko demanding fertilizer.

Addressing the farmers, former MLC R. Satyanarayana of Telangana Rashtra Samiti criticised the indifferent attitude of the State government towards the problems faced by the farmers. He pointed out that farmers in Medak have been organising dharnas from the past three days, but none of the concerned officer showed his face. He demanded immediate supply of fertilizer to the farmers in Medak sub-division.

As a result of the rasta rook, the traffic on the Narsapur-Medak has been affected.
