UNB, Dhaka :
Bangladesh Krishak Samity on Saturday threatened to block road and railway in January next if its 12-point demand, including ensuring fair prices of the produces, is not met.
Samity leaders issued the threat from a human chain programme formed in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city.
The other demands include procuring produces directly from farmers, establishing government purchase centre at union level, reducing the prices of agricultural inputs and making BADC active.
Speakers at the human chain said the Krishak Samity has long been placing the demands but the
government has not paid any heed to this end.
They also alleged that many farmers became mere farm labourers losing their land due to the wrong policy of the government.
