Farmers protest against cement plants from 2 years, no one listens

Captain Deep Singh Sekhawat from Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan says Govt here is hell bent in taking 72,000 bigha land of farmers to give to 3 cement companies. Farmers are sitting in dharna from last 685 days against it but no one is listening to them. Opposition party BJP is also not supporting the agitating farmers. The companies continue to cut Khejri trees which are very important for the environment of the region which will be more severely affected if these companies come to the area. You are requested to help the agitating farmers. For more Shekhawat ji can be reached at 09460148924
