Farmers in Tamil Nadu have passed a resolution demanding a minimum support price (MSP) during a meeting organized by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha. They urged the government to implement MSP based on recommendations from a parliamentary committee. The farmers emphasized the need for the government to address 12 key demands, including an MSP law and farm loan waivers, in upcoming negotiations on March 19. They criticized the government's decision to waive large corporate loans while not addressing farm loans. The meeting, held in Shencottah, included participation from 500 women farmers. The group called on the Tamil Nadu government to support their demands to the central government.
