BENGALURU: A few hundred farmers from across the state attempted a protest in front of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Bengaluru on Tuesday, demanding a change in loan policy and removal of a CIBIL score requirement to secure agricultural loans.
Members of the Federation of State Farmers’ Association and the Karnataka Sugarcane Cultivators’ Association arrived to participate in the protest, but agitators were stopped by police and prevented from marching to RBI. Police had formed a tight security cordon around RBI premises.
