Criticising banks for harassing farmers in the name of crop loan recovery and serving them with notice, Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha (KPRS) has warned that farmers from across the district will stage a protest outside the lead bank and the Deputy Commissioners office, if banks continue to harass farmers by issuing notice.
KPRS district president Sharanabasappa Mamshetty, addressing a press conference here on Thursday, said that farmers are facing huge financial losses as they suffered a huge crop loss due to wilt disease last year.
He said that this year too farmers have suffered crop loss due to scanty rainfall and the district has been hit by drought. Under such a situation, banks are using coercive methods and threatening farmers by issuing notice and pressurizing them to repay their loans.
