An indefinite agitation being staged by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in front of the District Collectorate here seeking justice for the paddy farmers entered the 42nd day on Wednesday.
The protestors have been demanding that the State government pay the farmers for the paddy procured from them months ago. Thousands of paddy farmers are yet to get the payment for the second crop paddy procured by the Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco).
Marking the 40th day of the protest, the RJD took out a march from the Head Post Office to the Collectorate on Monday. Inaugurating the march, Karshaka Congress State secretary E.M. Babu warned the government against pushing the farmers into suicide.
