Farmers created ruckus in front of the Collectorate
Food godowns were raided by SDO Ashwani Kumar regarding black marketing of fertilizers in Madhubani. During this, there was a tussle between the Agriculture Officer and SDO Ashwani Kumar, after which all the workers protested against SDO Ashwani Kumar by wearing black bands in front of the collectorate on Thursday.
Farmers in support of SDO Ashwani Kumar
On the other hand, on Friday, thousands of farmers sat on a one-day strike in front of the Farmers Collectorate regarding the corrupt attitude of the Agriculture Officer regarding tractors and black marketing of fertilizers, where the farmers demonstrated demanding the dismissal of the Agriculture Officer. . Farmers present in the movement say that with the arrival of Sadar SDO Ashwani Kumar in Madhubani city, many steps have been taken regarding land encroachment mafias as well as black marketing of fertilizers in the city. On the other hand, whatever steps were taken by the Sadar SDO against the Agriculture Officer are commendable. We stand in support of Kisan Sadar SDO Ashwani Kumar.
Deployment of large number of police forces
Farmers who arrived in large numbers said that the agriculture officials have been giving protection to the mafias in the district for the last two years. In such a situation, more than half a dozen illegal godowns were sealed last year as well. Even after this no action was taken. This year also dozens of illegal godowns in the district are full of food items, but farmers have to buy from the market at double the price. On the other hand, in view of the farmers’ performance, a large number of police forces have been deployed in the collectorate premises.
