Farmers under the banner of Kisan Ekta Manch and Rashtriya Kisan Maha Sangh on Wednesday declared not supply vegetables, fruits, milk and other crops to cities for 10 days starting from June 1. The move was taken in order to protest against anti-farmers policies of the Central Government.
A meeting of the coordination committee of these two farmers' organisations was held to give final shape to the programme.
