After organising their biggest protest since 1990 in Shimla today, the apple growers returned with an assurance from Chief Secretary RD Dhiman that the government will look into their demands and grievances.
A large number of apple growers from all over Himachal Pradesh, gathered under ‘Sanyukt Kisan Manch’, today held a protest march in Shimla over rising input costs and other challenges the apple industry is facing over the last few years.
Himachal apple growers will go ahead with their August 5 gherao of the Secretariat despite the government accepting a few major demands raised by them.
