With onion prices crashing sharply in the market, the Maharashtra State Onion Growers Association has announced a unique agitation — a ‘phone protest’ starting Friday, September 12. Farmers will continuously call the offices of the prime minister, chief minister, deputy chief ministers, agriculture minister and other officials to press for their demands. The decision comes amid severe losses faced by farmers, as production costs are not being recovered and prices have fallen drastically.
