AMRAVATI (Special Correspondent, Prajwal S.): Farmers have been staging a hunger strike outside the Amravati District Collector’s office for three days, demanding the construction of a road to their fields. The protest, led by farmer Sevkarav Barade, began just before Diwali and now includes family members, including grandchildren.
