Farmers’ protest at Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh took a violent turn after police opened fire on the protestors killing one farmer and injuring four people, sources said.
Internet services in Mandsaur, Ratlam and Ujjain remain suspended following farmers’ protests. The Rashtriya Kisaan Mazdoor Sangh has called for a state-wide shutdown tomorrow.
Farmers’ protests have continued unabated in many parts of Western Madhya Pradesh even as Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday said that his government is taking all necessary measures to address the issues of the agitating farmers.
“This government is farmers’ government. All necessary steps have been initiated to address farmers’ concerns,” Chouhan said.
