Unhappy at minimum support prices (MSPs) declared by the Centre for kharif crops, farmer activists have decided to protest against the government policies through a 25-day agitation, Kisan Adhikar Yatra. Beginning Thursday, the Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh (RKM) – an umbrella of 132 farmer organisations from across the country, is planning a nationwide yatra to highlight the plight of farmers and the failure of the Narendra Modi-led government to address the issues plaguing agriculture. The yatra will begin on July 26 from Handwara in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and will conclude in Kanyakumari, the southern-most tip of the country, on August 19, top representatives of the RKM said.
