Farmers’ demonstration

BANGALORE: The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) and Green Brigade would hold a demonstration in Bangalore on September 8 and lay a siege to the Vidhana Soudha, seeking compensation from the Government to potato growers who have suffered losses worth crores of rupees. KRRS president and former legislator K.S. Puttannaiah told presspersons here on Friday that potato cultivated on one lakh acres in Hassan district and 15,000 acres in Chikmagalur district had been affected by “angamaari disease.” Besides, heavy rains had also led to the destruction of potato crop. — Special Correspondent
