NASHIK: A Farmer in Nashik burned his farm field in protest against the price fall for onions in the market. The farmer burned the field which was full of onions that were just short of a perfect reap. Farmer Krishna Donga in Nashik took the odd way to burn down his full farm after the price of onions fell by Rs 2 to 4 in the state.
Krishna had a farm of 1.5 acres fully dedicated to growing onions. He has spent at least Rs 1.5 lakh in four months to manage the farm for a perfect reap. Krishna is of the opinion that, it is the delusional laws inserted by the center and state government which is adding to the predicament of the farmers in the state.
Before burning down the farm, Krishna also sent a letter to chief minister Eknath Shinde written with his blood.
