Madhya Pradesh Farmers Protest in Bhopal Over Moong Procurement and Fertiliser Issues
Around 2,000 farmers from Madhya Pradesh marched to Bhopal demanding 100% procurement of moong at the Minimum Support Price (MSP), scrapping of the e-token system, and improved fertiliser distribution. The protest involved breaching police barricades, causing traffic disruptions and clashes. The state government, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Agriculture Minister Aidal Singh Kansana, formed a ministerial committee and increased moong procurement from 25% to 60%, extended booking deadlines, and suspended the e-token system. Some farmer groups remain unsatisfied, vowing to continue the agitation.
