Nashik: Several onion farmers, led by opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders, on Tuesday staged a protest against the government's procurement prices, blocking the busy Mumbai-Agra National Highway in Nashik district.
Police intervened and detained protesters after the 'Kanda Utpadak Shetkari Kranti Mahamorcha' disrupted traffic in Chandwad town, where some agitators reportedly attempted to deflate the tyres of vehicles stranded on the highway.
