Farmers in Karnataka's Koppal district protested by dumping red gram, demanding a higher Minimum Support Price (MSP) and state incentive. They argue the current MSP of ₹8,000 per quintal is insufficient to cover production costs. Protesters called for an MSP of ₹8,500 and an additional ₹4,000 incentive per quintal. The demonstration also highlighted concerns over delayed dam work, water scarcity for crops, and demanded crop loan waivers and improved agricultural department facilities.
