Suzlon officials with help of police squad tried to intervene but farmers and their families came on the spot in large number and obstructed them by aggressive action with the result that both Suzlon officers and police had to go back on Monday.

On Tuesday farmers' meeting held in local gram panchyats had endorsed the agitation which will be continued until the concerned farmers who own lands and local gram panchyats are asked for due permission and lands are duly purchased by Suzlon which is alleged to have entered into deals with middlemen without the consent of real land owners.

No Suzlon official was available for comment.
