Ujjain Farmers Protest Land Acquisition for 2028 Simhastha
Farmers in Ujjain are upset because the government wants to permanently take their land to build a city for the Simhastha festival in 2028.
They are worried because many of them are small farmers, and losing their land would leave them with nothing.
They're asking the government to only use their land temporarily, instead of taking it forever.
They are protesting by blocking roads and holding signs to show their disagreement.
The farmers are worried because the land acquisition would impact their livelihoods.
