The Maharashtra unit of the All India Kisan Sabha will block roads across the state on February 6 in response to a nationwide ‘chakka jam’ on the day. The pan-India protest call given by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha is an attempt to pressure the Centre to repeal the new farm laws.

AIKS president Dr Ashok Dhawale, who led a massive farmers’ march from Nashik to Mumbai on Republic Day, said they will hit national and state highways between 12 noon and 3 pm.
