We have been demanding minimum income guarantee scheme, implementation of Swaminathan Commission report and waiver of farmers' debt.
Farmers from northern and central India will not supply vegetables, fruits, milk and other crops from June 1 till June 10. We will not go to cities to supply their produce. Farmers will take holidays for ten days, Bhartiya Kisan Union president Balbir Singh Rajewal said.
