Farmers stage protest in Villupuram, arrested

Over 100 members belonging to the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam (TNVS) and the Left parties were arrested when they resorted to a road roko in front of the Collectorate here on Friday, in protest against the three Farm Bills passed in Parliament recently.

Led by TNVS coordinator Kaliyamoorthy and CPI district secretary A.V. Saravanan, the protesters squatted on the Tiruchi Road and blocked traffic.

They raised slogans against the BJP-led government at the Centre, accusing it of implementing “anti-farmer” policies.
