Bengaluru, Sep 28(UNI) The Karnataka Bandh call given by pro-farmer organisations supported by a number of other social and political outfits on Monday evoked mixed response in the state with normal life by and large not getting disturbed.
The agitation was in protest against the amendments to the APMC and Land Reforms Act passed in the recently concluded session despite strong objection by the opposition Congress, JDS and Farmers Associations.
The amendment to the Land Reforms Act lifts restrictions on purchasing agricultural land and enables any individual to purchase it. Earlier, the law permitted only the farmers to purchase agricultural land in the state.
