Himachal Apple Farmers Protest Eviction After Supreme Court Stay

Himachal Apple Farmers Protest Eviction After Supreme Court Stay

Apple farmers in Himachal Pradesh are upset because the government is trying to remove them from land they use.

They gathered to protest against being kicked off their land and having their apple trees cut down.

The farmers are worried about losing their homes and livelihoods, especially those who are poor or have little land.

The Supreme Court has temporarily stopped the government from evicting people.

The farmers want the government to let them keep the land, following the rules that allow them to register the small encroachments on land they've been using, and have met with the Chief Minister to try and solve the problem.
