BHOPAL: (Jul 30) The Madhya Pradesh government has agreed to procure 60 per cent of the moong crop from eligible farmers, extended the procurement deadline and halted the e-token system for fertiliser distribution, prompting agitating farmers to call off their protest in Bhopal.
The announcement came on Wednesday night following talks between representatives of the state government and farmer leaders at the state secretariat, hours after thousands of protesters marched to within about a km of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s residence after staging a demonstration outside Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s house.
In an official statement, the government said it had decided to increase procurement from each eligible farmer from the existing 25 per cent to 60 per cent of the moong crop in the larger interest of farmers.
