A 150 kilo sack of rice, a 100 kilo sack of wheat flour, 30 kilos of potatoes and 50 kilos of onions have been collected at Kamal Shinde’s two-room house.“This food is for everyone,” 55-year-old Kamal says. “Each person is carrying their day’s meal and the rest of the days we will make food on the way [by the side of the road].”
Around 30-40 farmers from her village have contributed to these collective supplies, which will be used to prepare their meals during the march that they embarked on yesterday, February 20, says Appa Vatane, Dindori taluka coordinator of the All India Kisan Sabha, which is the main organiser of the protest.
