Farmers protest demanding full agricultural loan waiver
Farmers held protests across four districts demanding a complete waiver of agricultural loans without discrimination.
Farmers unions, including the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association and Cauvery Farmers Protection Association, held protests across Thanjavur, Nagapattinam, Thiruvarur, and Mayiladuthurai districts demanding a full waiver of agricultural loans as announced by the Tamil Nadu government.
Protests took place in over 30 locations including Thiruvaiyaru, Thiruvidaimarudur, and Kumbakonam. Farmers demanded that loans be waived for all categories of farmers—small, marginal, and large—without discrimination, and that this be included in the separate agriculture budget.
