Nashik Ring Road Farmers Begin Non-Cooperation Movement August 25
Farmers in Nashik are worried about roads planned near their villages.
They say the Ring Road and Highway 29 projects could affect their land.
The farmers want the government to publish an inquiry report about the Ring Road’s alignment.
They also want land surveys and acquisitions to stop until their compensation concerns are settled.
Some farmers said they were pressured with warnings that their compensation could be reduced by 25 percent.
Starting August 25, they plan not to cooperate with the land acquisition process.
They will also march from Nashik to Mumbai to present their demands.
On August 28, women farmers plan to meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and tie him Rakhi while making their appeal.
Farmers from 14 Nashik villages and the Chinchkhed-Dindori area announced a non-cooperation movement from August 25.
They plan to march from Nashik’s Golf Club Ground to Mumbai’s Azad Maidan on August 25 at 10 a.m.
Farmers want land acquisition and surveys halted until the Ring Road alignment inquiry report is released.
They alleged pressure through threats of a 25% reduction in compensation and questioned disputed alignment procedures.
