The Deputy Commissioner of Mysore assured the farmers who have gone on strike in Mysore for the last few days demanding higher Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of sugarcane, that he will convene a meeting on November 8 to discuss their demands. Although the DC urged him to withdraw his strike in view of the meeting, but the farmers did not agree and said that the strike would be called off only after their demand was met. Farmers rang gongs to highlight the government’s tacit response to their concerns.
