The Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee on Wednesday organised protest demonstrations in villages against the Centre and the state government.
In a press release, president of the committee Salwindar Singh Jania said during their protests, it was demanded that ration kits should be distributed without any discrimination and every family should get the same.
He said every farmer should be given Rs 200 as bonus for wheat crop and all registered and unregistered workers should be given bonus, besides monthly financial help.
The farmers should be given Rs 6,000 per acre for wheat and paddy stubble management. He said all former MLAs should claim only one pension. It was demanded that the Swaminathan report should be implemented at the earliest. A memorandum of demands was handed over to the authorities concerned.
