Farmers Split Over Government's Moong Procurement Offer
Farmers in Bhopal are upset about how much moong they can sell to the government.
The government said it would buy more and stop using a special token system.
Some farmers liked this, but others said it was not enough.
The police moved the leaders to talk with the government.
The farmers will stay at the protest site overnight and decide what to do next on Thursday.
Government raised moong procurement limit from 3 to 5 quintals per acre and suspended the e‑token system.
Farmers split into two groups: one welcomed the changes, the other rejected the offer.
Collector Priyank Mishra urged cooperation and warned of legal action for unlawful protest.
Protesters plan to stay overnight and decide next steps after Thursday discussions.
Police moved farmer leaders to the control room for talks with the administration.
