Himachal Kisan Sabha visits Dumme and Bhouth panchayats
A team from the Himachal Kisan Sabha, led by State President Dr. Kuldeep Singh Tanwar, visited the Dumme and Bhouth Panchayats. Meetings were held with the association’s members in both wards, and committees were formed.
The team included State Treasurer Satyawan Pundir, Pratap Thakur, and Sunil Vashishth, among others. During the meetings, members were informed about the association’s efforts to organize farmers around their issues and apply pressure on the government and departments to resolve these problems.
State President Dr. Kuldeep Singh Tanwar emphasized the importance of organizations like the Farmers’ Association in a democracy. He stated that stronger ward-level organizations lead to quicker resolution of issues.

- The increasing problem of wild boars and other wild animals.
- Daily dangers faced due to overcrowded and old buses.
