Farmers’ leader opposes fixing of meters to agriculture pump sets
Federation of Rajya Raitha Sanghas and Sugarcane Growers’ Association have called for a statewide protest on August 10 opposing fixing of meters to agriculture pump sets, and seeking fair and remunerative price for sugarcane. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru in August 5, Sugar Growers’ Association president Kurubur Shanthakumar said that by amending the Electricity Act, the government wants to privatise power supply and fix meters to agriculture pump sets. “On the long run, this measure is aimed at doing away with free power supply to the agriculture sector,” he added.More Related News
