Farmers Continue Sit-In at Bhopal’s RRL Square amid Protest
In Bhopal, thousands of farmers are sitting in a square to ask the government to pay more for their crops.
Volunteers are giving them food and water, but the food is not the same for everyone.
Some farmers tried to climb over police barriers and push a bus, but the police stopped them without using force.
The farmers say the government only buys a small part of what they grow, so they want better prices.
