Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Farmers under the banner of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) took out tractor rallies all over the state on Tuesday.
Under the leadership of the Bhopal district unit of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, covering the Nazirabad, Bairasia and Huzur tehsils, a rally involving farmers with over 200 tractors was organised on Tuesday to highlight issues such as crop damage and other grievances.
A memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister was submitted. In Bairasia, ADM Prakash Nayak and additional SP Pramod Sonkar received the memorandum.
District president Girvar Singh Rajput and district secretary Devendra Dangi stated that kharif crops, including soyabean and black gram, suffered heavy damage due to adverse weather and pest infestations (specifically caterpillars) and that farmers had not yet received crop insurance payment for the 2024-25 season.
BKS general secretary Rahul Dhoot said, “Tractor rally was taken out in various parts of the state. In Bhopal, it was taken out in Nazirabad, Bairasia and Huzur tehsil.”
