Madhya Pradesh Extends Wheat Procurement Slot Booking Amid Farmer Group's Agitation Threat

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced an extension of the wheat procurement slot booking period from April 30 to May 9, with potential further extension. The state aims to procure up to 100 lakh metric tonnes, prioritizing small farmers and operating six days a week without holidays. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh has demanded scrapping the satellite survey system and faster slot booking, threatening statewide agitation if their demands are unmet within five days. The government assures commitment to buying all wheat despite global challenges.
