NKS calls Odisha bandh on Feb 21

Friday, 15 February 2019 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

The Navnirman Krushak Sangathan (NKS) has called for a Statewide bandh on February 21 to protest the lackadaisical attitude of both the Union and State Governments to protect the interest of farmers.

NKS national convener Akshay Kumar informed this here on Wednesday evening.

“Whenever farmers have tried to stage peaceful protest seeking fulfilment of their demands, they have been prevented from entering the capital city. This clearly indicates the State Government’s concern towards farmers,” said Kumar.

He said NKS activists would strongly protest against the police atrocity and press their longstanding demands of price, prestige and pension during the bandh. He urged upon people from all walks of life to support the Sangathan to hold a peaceful bandh.

Kumar also said the NKS has sought cooperation from truck and bus associations urging them to keep their vehicles off the road during the 12-hour bandh. “We have also requested commercial establishments and educational institutions to support us in making the bandh a success,” he added.
