About 40 Nabanirman Krusak Sangathan (NKS) activists, including a few women, courted arrest in front of the Collector’s office here on Tuesday.
Reports said that Jagatsinghpur NKS activists had resorted to hunger strike in front of the collector office supporting organisation’s State convener Askhya Kumar’s hunger strike in Bhubaneswar from December 1.
On Tuesday morning, the NKS sympathizers locked the main gate of the Collectorate and did not allow any employees to enter into the office.
Even the Collector, the ADM and other top officials were prevented from entering their offices.
The agitators shouted slogans against the State Government blaming it as anti-farmer.
