Belagavi Police took into custody 30 farmers who were planning to hold a protest in front of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's residence in Shiggaon on Wednesday.
A team of police officers stopped the farmers near the toll gate in Hire Bagewadi village in Belagavi district, when a fleet of vehicles carrying them was moving towards Shiggaon from Belagavi.
The farmers were asked to drop the agitation as they had not obtained due permission from the government authorities.
