- Shivanand Itagi, general secretary of the state farmers' association, said the exclusion amounts to injustice against Mundargi taluk.
- Veernagouda Patil, working president of the state sugarcane growers' association, said poor monsoon rains this year have pushed farmers in Mundargi taluk into severe hardship.
- The district in-charge minister and district officials visited Mundargi taluk to review conditions, yet the taluk was still left off the drought list, Patil said.
- A preparatory meeting to plan protests will be held on June 18 at 10:30 am at the municipal garden in Mundargi town, and the meeting matters because it could lead to farmer demonstrations against the government.
