A total of 1,057 members, including 399 women, of All India Kisan Sabha and All India Agriculture Workers Association were arrested on Saturday for picketing.
In Dindigul they picketed roads at 11 places, demanding issue of house pattas to the poor and downtrodden. They picketed roads in Nilakottai, Sempatti, Iayyalur, Eriyode, Dindigul, Natham, Gopalpatti, Oddanchatram, Sri Rampuram, Kodaikanal and Gujiliamparai.
They condemned forest officials' action against farmers in Sirumalai and appealed to the officials to stop "harrassing" farmers on the hill.
