A farmers' blockade, launched by Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana and Rayat Sangha, has disrupted highway corridors connecting Maharashtra and Karnataka near Kognoli on the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway (NH48). Heavy vehicles, including trucks and containers, remain stranded across both sides of the Kognoli toll booth. Authorities have advised travelers from Mumbai, Pune, and Satara to use alternate routes or postpone their journeys.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The agitation is centered on demands for a minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 50 per kg for sugar and an ethanol procurement price of Rs 70 per litre. The farmers' outfit, led by Raju Shetti, stated that meeting these demands would enable sugar mills to pay farmers Rs 5,000 per ton. The disruption affects interstate freight movement and agricultural supply chains.
