Indian Law: Support or Obstruction? — The Struggle of Farmers in Nashik
Indian Law: Support or Obstruction? — The Struggle of Farmers in Nashik

In today’s time, a fundamental question arises — is the law meant to serve the people, or is it being used to obstruct their rightful work? The ongoing struggle of farmers in Pangri Budruk (Taluka Sinnar, District Nashik) has brought this issue into sharp focus.
Due to the blockage of the access (wahiwat) road affecting agricultural lands (Gut No. 158, 159, 160), farmers are unable to harvest wheat and transport sugarcane. In the backdrop of unseasonal rains, this has created a serious risk of financial loss.
Hunger Strike Turns Critical
During the protest, the health of two farmers deteriorated, forcing their hospitalization. This clearly reflects the seriousness of the issue and administrative inaction.
RTI and Legal Struggle
An RTI application was filed, followed by a First Appeal. Due to no response, a Second Appeal has now been filed before the State Information Commission.
Second Appeal No.: MHSICBANKID2026E002400
Administrative Failure?
Instead of resolving the issue on the ground, authorities appear to rely on procedural delays. This raises serious concerns about governance and accountability.
“Law should clear the path, not create obstacles — that is the true spirit of democracy.”
