Farmers in Chhattisgarh's Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan district protested a proposed Shree Cement Limited limestone quarry and plant on December 7. Approximately forty villages participated, demanding the cancellation of a public hearing. Protesters cited fears of agricultural land destruction and environmental harm, submitting a memorandum to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and clashing with police over their concerns about land and livelihoods.
