The Karnataka Rajya Raita Sangha and Green Brigade have threatened an indefinite blockade of national highways at all district headquarters across Karnataka from October 13 if the demands of sugarcane growers are not addressed at a high-level meeting convened by Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Pralhad Joshi in New Delhi on October 12.

Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi city on Friday, the organisation’s State working president, Maheshgowda Subedar, said the agitation would be intensified if the meeting failed to yield a favourable response.
