The 16th day of protests by those affected by the Majhgawan dam project in Madhya Pradesh's Panna district continued on Sunday, September 27, 2026, despite rain and waterlogging. The agitators, led by Amit Bhatnagar of Jai Kisan Sangathan, are demanding immediate assessment of losses and full compensation for families affected by the project's delays in rehabilitation and resettlement benefits.
Officials claim to be conducting fresh surveys and distributing compensation, but the farmer organization alleges that families are still awaiting their full entitlements.
