However, the Highways Authority is moving to scrap the ring road proposal.
Therefore, farmers will have to raise their voices against the ring road more aggressively in the future. The Taluka Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti has appealed to the farmers of all the villages to attend in large numbers and register their objections against the ring road.
