Farmers in Rewari Demand MSP Procurement of Bajra, Warn of Protests
Farmers from the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) in Rewari staged protests and a hunger strike demanding government procurement of bajra at the minimum support price (MSP) instead of under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana. They submitted a memorandum to the district revenue officer, warning of road blockades if MSP purchases do not start by October 1. Farmers claim delayed procurement forces them to sell at lower rates and allege incomplete payments under the Bhavantar scheme last year. Officials have assured resolution within days.
