Explanation: Farmers from 172 organisations have begun a 10-day strike from 1st June 2018 to draw attention to the ongoing agrarian crisis. Farm produce, especially perishables such as milk and vegetables, will not be supplied to cities by protesting farmers during the “gaon bandh” or village shutdown, farm leaders said. The major demands of the striking farmers are for a complete loan waiver, a minimum support price that is 50% higher than all input costs, and income assurance.
