Ranchi: The Jharkhand Rajya Kisan Sangharsh Samanvaya Samiti (JRKSSS) is planning to hold kisan mahapanchayats across the state ahead of the Bharat bandh called by Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) later this month to ensure the strike’s success. “Our organization will gear up for the nationwide protest by holding kisan mahapanchyats across the state. The Bharat bandh will be historic day in Jharkhand,” JRKSSS convenor Sufal Mahto said on Thursday.
JRKSSS has already held meetings to discuss ways to make the strike a success.
Besides the Bharat bandh on March 26, SKM has planned an array of activities this month to register their protest against the central farm laws. On March 19, SKM and its affiliated units will hold demonstrations at local markets “to save agriculture”. Farmers from across the country will gather at the Delhi borders to mark the martyrdom day of Shahid Bhagat Singh on March 23. On March 28, the farmers would burn copies of the new farm laws.
JRKSSS also announced that it will join the nationwide rail rokko stir called by farm unions across the country on February 18

JRKSSS also announced that it will join the nationwide rail rokko stir called by farm unions across the country on February 18. Earlier on Saturday, the samiti held its maiden mahapanchayat at the Rahe block here on the lines of the congregations held in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to mobilise farmers against the farm laws.
JRKSSS held a kisan mahapanchayat
RANCHI: Jharkhand Rajya Kisan Sangharsh Samanvaya Samiti (JRKSSS), an umbrella organisation of farmer bodies, on Saturday held a kisan mahapanchayat here while Congress took out ‘padyatras’ across the state to demand the withdrawal of three farm laws passed by the Centre.
Speaking at the mahapanchayat at Rahe, state convenor of JRKSSS, Sufal Mahto, said, “The farm laws are a death warrant for the farmers and our agitation will continue till they are withdrawn. The Centre’s approach towards the agitation is suppressive from the very beginning.”
General secretary of the Jharkhand Rajya Kisan Sabha, Surjeet Sinha, claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government wants the destruction of the farmers’ community.
Ranchi: JMM on Friday said it will hit the national highways in the state to support Saturday’s three-hour nation-wide ‘chakka jam’ call by pro-farmer groups demanding rollback of the farm laws. The party also pledged to rally strongly behind all future protests and demonstrations.
Addressing the media, the party’s general secretary, Supriyo Bhattacharya, said, “We had vehemently opposed the farm bills which were brought in through an ordinance last year and passed in Parliament. On Saturday, our leaders and party workers will stand shoulder to shoulder with the farmers when they carry out their ‘chakka jam’ on the national highways.”
