Farmers in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, commenced an indefinite protest at the Jhabua Collectorate on Thursday, seeking equitable compensation for their land acquired for the construction of the Badnawar-Timrawani four-lane road. Organized by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, the demonstration commenced at 1 pm. The farmers contended that the compensation offered by the administration fell drastically short of market rates.
They insisted on receiving compensation four times the prevailing market value, as stipulated by applicable regulations. Prior demonstrations had been staged in Petlawad, Thandla, and Meghnagar, and they had submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav during his visit to Thandla on July 31. However, they alleged that no tangible action was taken in response.
The protesters vowed to persist in their agitation until their grievances were addressed. They remained at the protest site throughout the night, organizing meals there, with women from their families also participating in the demonstration. Leaders from the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, comprising Krishna Pal Singh Rathore, Dayaram Patidar, Bachchu Singh Meda, and Vardichand Patidar, spearheaded the protest.
Security personnel from Jhabua Kotwali and nearby police stations were stationed at the Collectorate to maintain order.
