The Indian government has taken a tough stance against farmers protesting against the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops. According to official sources, the government is seizing the property and bank accounts of farmers involved in the protests.
Local residents have also been asked to provide information about any damage to their property during the protests.
Farmers have been protesting for several days on the borders of Punjab and Haryana. The government has used various measures to control the protesters, including firing tear gas shells from drones. A young farmer was killed during the protests at the Khanauri border, after which the farmers announced a two-day break in the protests.
Today is the second day of the break in the farmers’ protests. Meanwhile, it has also been reported that the farmers have made elaborate plans to march towards Delhi. For this, the farmers are carrying JCBs and other necessary arrangements with them. On the other hand, there is a lot of anger after the death of a farmer at the Khanauri border.
The government is also trying to pacify the farmers. On Wednesday night, it announced an increase in the sugarcane procurement price. In addition, PM Modi also sent a special message to the farmers on Thursday.
