They shouted slogans against the government for allowing the private market and alleged that it was causing huge losses to the APMC and that farmers were not being given a fair price. They demanded that the Jai Kisan Vegetable Merchants’ Association Market be closed immediately. They said they would continue to protest till the market was closed.

And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
