Farmers in Gujarat are furious at the erratic power cuts for the last three weeks as utilities have been curbing the supply for agriculture.
In several districts of North Gujarat and Saurashtra regions, farmers have taken out protest marches. Legislators and farmers unions have written to the authorities as erratic and reduced supply have affected irrigation in the peak season.
So far, several legislators of the Opposition party and even the Bhartiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), a farmers’ wing of the RSS, have written to the authorities demanding supply be restored for farm sector.
