Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday January 10, president of district Kiisan cell, Umanath Shetty, said that the ban placed on digging of borewells has been adversely affecting agricultural activities. He therefore demanded for lifting this ban. Shetty exuded confidence that his party will register victory in a big way in APMC election, as he said people have realized the futility of the central government's promise of coming to their rescue, taking cue from the fact that even after 60 days since enforcing demonetisation exercise, it has not done anything in this direction.
