Farmers' body plans nationwide stir over farm distress, trade pacts; Mumbai meet backs jail bharo campaign

Farmers' distress is escalating, prompting the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) to announce nationwide protests. A key event is the 'Jail Bharo' movement on August 10, targeting issues like falling prices, rising costs, and loan waiver shortcomings. AIKS will also coordinate with other farmer and worker groups to amplify their demands against government policies, with further programs planned to mark its 90th anniversary.
