Mumbai, Mar 12: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said his government was
"sensitive and positive" towards the demands of farmers and tribals,
who have marched from Nashik to Mumbai to draw the administration's attention
towards their problems.
Mr Fadnavis was responding to a discussion in the Assembly,
initiated by Leader of the Opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, who lauded
farmers' participation in the 'Kisan Long March' in very peaceful way while
demanding a complete loan waiver and compensation for hailstorm and pink
bollworm pest attack on crops.
The Azad Maidan in South Mumbai turned into a sea of red this morning as thousands of farmers, carrying red flags, converged here after walking around 180 kms from the neighbouring Nashik district over the last six days.
The farmers plan to surround the Assembly complex to press for their demands of an unconditional loan waiver, and transfer of forest land to tribal farmers who have been tilling it for years. UNI
