Farmers in eight villages of Bhikangaon, Madhya Pradesh, are threatening an indefinite strike if irrigation water from the Binjalwada project is not released by January 5. They also demand transparent cotton procurement and timely compensation for soybean crop losses. Farmers cite intermittent water supply, risking Rabi crops, and financial losses due to rejected cotton consignments and weighing irregularities. The memorandum was submitted to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), warning of a protest if demands are not met.
