NANDYAL: The protest by farmers for fertilizer turned violent at Srinivasa Junction in Nandyal town on Thursday leaving four policemen and 50 farmers injured in the incident. The police resorted to lathi charge to disperse the mob which tried to loot two trucks carrying the stocks and took into custody former Telugu Desam Minister N. Md. Farooq on the charge of instigating farmers. According to reports, some 2,000 farmers resorted to rasta roko for fertilizer at Srinivasa junction and held up traffic for six hours. Leaders of TDP, CPI and CPI(M) also took part in the protest in solidarity with the farmers. When the protesters tried to take away the fertilizer bags from the two trucks passing by, the police intervened and caned the farmers. Several farmers and policemen suffered bleeding injuries in the clash. Mr. Farooq and others were let off after the situation came under control.
