Thousands of farmers from across Maharashtra will converge on Azad Maidan in the city, intensifying the ongoing agitation against the farm laws recently passed by the central government. They have planned to stage a sit-in at the spot for three days.

More than 10,000 farmers, peasants and workers have been mobilised and united under the banner of Samyukta Shetkari Kamgar Morcha’s (SSKM) Maharashtra unit. They have planned to take out a ‘vehicle march’ to Mumbai on January 23, said the SSKM in a statement on Monday.
