A foot march of farmers and workers spearheaded by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to draw the government's attention towards various demands of these sections began from Dindori town in Maharashtra's Nashik district to Mumbai on Sunday.

The organisers said that thousands of farmers and unorganised sector workers are taking part in the 'Long March' that has been organised over demands like the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for onions, appropriate price for agriculture produce, electricity bill waiver for farmers, speedy compensation for crops losses due to the unseasonal rains and forest land rights.
