In Mandsaur last year, five farmers were killed during protest when police open fired. Yesterday, various farmer groups have called for Gaon bandh from June 1-10. But what are the other demands of farmers and what are the other conditions of Gaon Bandh, below we have listed out 10 latest developments so far.
1. During the 10-day long gaon bandh, no farm produce would be allowed to be transported outside villages.
