Bengaluru: The Joint Forum of Farm Labourers’ Associations has decided State-wide protest on August 1 against the State Government’s policies.

The forum has 28 demands ranging from increasing the assured job days under MGNREGS to a strict ban on cow protection brigades and other groups which have spread communal tension in rural areas. The Forum demanded the Government to complete the process of allotment of land for landless and expressed concern over the recent policies that have adversely affected the informal sector.

Further, it urged the RBI to come up with rules to regulate micro finance companies looting the people among others.
