The distribution of compensation to Indian farmers whose banana crops were devastated by hailstorms has sparked outrage among the farming community. To appease these farmers, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan swiftly transferred compensation funds directly into their bank accounts. However, this move has drawn protests from the farmers who claim they have not received adequate compensation.
Yesterday, more than 100 farmers from Dhamangaon, Bombada, Loni Patonda and Hasinabad Rajora stormed the collectorate office to express their grievances. Farmers accused the local Patwari of incorrectly assessing the compensation amount. They declared their intention to boycott the upcoming elections if their demands for fair compensation were not met.
