The Sopore fruit mandi on Tuesday remained shut to extend their support to the bharat bandh called by farmers who are seeking the rollback of three contentious farm laws.
President fruit growers and dealers association of fruit mandi Sopore, Fayaz Ahmad Malik said: “We extend our support to the bandh call of farmers and closed all the activities of all sorts of business today in fruit mandi Sopore in support of the bandh call given by farmers.”
He also appealed to the Central government that in view of the sentiments of farmers the newly framed farm laws should be rolled back immediately.
The farmer groups have called for a shutdown across India today to press for their demands of rollback of pro-market farm laws.
