Some 500 farmers from Osmanabad, Latur and Solapur districts in Maharashtra have started an indefinite hunger strike claiming high tension electricity pylons erected on their farms had led to crash in land prices.

They accused MahaGenco and Power Grid Corporation of India of erecting the pylons without permission from farmers, and said the strike would continue till adequate compensation is given.
