Tikait warns govt against forcible land acquisition
Buxar: Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait, who arrived here on Saturday to attend Kisan Sabha held in support of the farmers affected by the thermal power plant located at Chausa in the district, warned the govt that any attempt to snatch the land of the farmers will not be tolerated. Addressing the gathering, Tikait alleged that there is a conspiracy to grab the land of farmers under the guise of various projects, adding a movement would be launched against forcible acquisition of land. He alleged the govt wants the people of Bihar to leave their land, become workers, so that they migrate to other states. He said that land acquisition should be done in a transparent manner and by giving proper compensation. A large number of farmer leaders and villagers attended the programme. The farmers raised slogans against the govt and vowed to intensify their struggle. RJD MP from Buxar, Sudhakar Singh, who also participated in the meeting, said the govt's land acquisition policy is completely against farmers.

US Vice-President JD Vance on visit to India, farmers in Haryana burn his effigy in protest against trade policies.
1 2 3 Hisar: The district unit of the All India Kisan Sabha staged a protest at the mini-secretariat on Thursday, burning an effigy of the US Vice-President in opposition to what they described as anti-farmer agricultural trade policies . The demonstration was led by district president Shamsher Singh Nambardar and conducted by tehsil secretary Ramesh Mirkan. According to Nambardar, the US Vice-President's ongoing visit to India is aimed at pushing agricultural trade terms that are heavily skewed in favour of the US. "The proposed trade agreement will allow US agricultural products to enter India with zero or nominal import duty, while India's agricultural exports will face an export duty ranging between 150 to 200%," he said. He warned that such policies could have devastating consequences for Indian agriculture. "If Indian produce cannot be exported due to such high tariffs, the country's farming sector could face collapse. These terms are unjust and one-sided," Nambardar added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Is Reported To Have Read Every...
