 of March. The All India Kisan Sabha Maharashtra State Committee has begun a huge 10,000 strong Kisan Long March from Nasek and it is now proceeding on its way to Mumbai which is 200 km far away. This Long March has been taken out on a various string of issues. The most important is as a result of the policies of the Narendra Modi led BJP government and of the Shinde Fadnavis government, state government in Maharashtra, the price of the output of the farmers have continuously fallen in the last few months. The most tragic example is that of onions. The price of onions which was 2200 to 2300 per quintal last year has now fallen to less than 500 to 600 rupees per quintal now that is what farmers are getting. Similarly price of cotton, price of soya bean, of milk, of arhar dal all these prices have fallen and as a result of it the farmers from Maharashtra and all over the country are suffering tremendously. Now apart from this there is the question of that we have taken up complete loan waiver to all the poor and middle farmers and agricultural workers in Maharashtra. Third, the tremendous electricity bills that are coming. We are demanding a waiver of those bills and 12 hours uninterrupted supply of electricity. Another major issue that we have taken up in the last historic long march five years ago not yet totally resolved and that is the very fundamental question of land. The implementation of the Forest Rights Act of the Devasthan and the Inam land which is to be vested in the names of those who are cultivating. We have also taken up the issue of the workers and employees. For example the Anganwadi Asha workers we have demanded that they be given complete this thing as the government employs that standard status they should be given. Also those who have joined government service after 2005 should get the benefit of the old pension scheme. These are all the issues that we have raised in this march. Thousands of peasants are marching towards Mumbai.
