Earlier this month, a group of around 100 farmers staged a `rail roko' agitation in western Maharashtra's Sangli district over issues related to the acquisition of land by the Railways. The protest forced the Kolhapur-Gondia Maharashtra Express to halt for more than four hours in the Bhilwadi-Nandre section in Palus tehsil. The farmers in Maharashtra demanded that their additional land be acquired by the Railways and a joint measurement for this was going on in consultation with the district administration.
