Farmers in Vaghpar and Piludi villages of Morbi district held a night meeting to demand compensation for losses caused by electricity poles. According to a report by Sandesh, the farmers described the current 45 per cent compensation provided by the government as negligible and demanded it be increased to 260 per cent.
Farmers stated that electricity lines passing through the land and the installation of electricity poles have had a widespread impact on agricultural land, leading to significant financial losses. Considering this situation, the farmers have prepared a total of 24 points and demanded that the government accept all these demands.
A large number of local farmers gathered at the meeting. The farmers stated that their 24-point demands are reasonable and provide adequate protection against land loss. Heavy dissatisfaction was observed among the farmers regarding the current government policy, and they spoke of raising their voice of protest further on this issue.
