Sugarcane farmers attempt to lay siege to Deputy Commissioner’s office in Mysuru

Farmers growing sugarcane in Mysuru tried to block the Deputy Commissioner’s office, pressing the central government to increase the Fair Remunerative Price to ₹4,500 per tonne for a 10.25% recovery rate. They also urged Karnataka to establish a State Advisory Price modeled after Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The demonstration escalated, prompting police to intervene and use crowd‑control measures.
