About 1,00,000 workers from the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committees (APMCs) across Maharashtra have went on an indefinite strike on Monday.The Maharashtra Rajya Mathadi Transport and the General Kamgar Union, which control the loading and unloading of food stocks at all the APMCs in the state, have made a number of demands from the state government. Some of the demands are better wages and housing for porters and workers and a ban on direct sourcing of vegetables and fruits by 25 corporates which bypass the APMCs.The effect of the strike is predominantly being seen in the Turbhe APMC in Navi Mumbai, from where not even a single vehicle carrying fruits or vegetables has left since this morning. The farmers have also not sent their produce to the market due to the strike.Meanwhile, Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has called for a meeting with the workers tomorrow afternoon to discuss the issue.
