Traffic on the Mumbai-Agra national highway in Maharashtra's Nashik district was disrupted for an hour on Friday due to a protest by Nationalist Congress Party workers over an array of farmer-centric issues, officials said.
The protesters, who spilled onto the busy carriageway at Chandwad, demanded a minimum support price for onion, immediate assessment of losses due to recent unseasonal rains and compensation to farmers and a reduction in fuel prices. "As onions, vegetables and other agro produce are fetching meagre prices, farmers are facing problems again. Also, the recent unseasonal rains have caused a huge loss of crops such as grapes, onions, wheat, gram and vegetables," said party MP Sameer Bhujbal.
