Farmers to Protest Madhya Pradesh Land Pooling Plan
Farmers in Madhya Pradesh are planning a big protest on December 26 in Ujjain.
They are upset because the government promised to stop a plan that would take their farmland and build permanent structures for a big religious festival called Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
The farmers say the festival has always used temporary tents and buildings, and they don't want their land to be turned into concrete buildings.
The government says they are still working on the details, but the farmers want a formal written order to make sure the plan is really canceled.
They plan to sit in protest until they get this order.
BKS announces protest on December 26 in Ujjain against land pooling scheme for Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
Farmers allege government betrayal for not issuing written order to scrap land pooling policy.
Government sources indicate a written order may be in the works but no formal announcement yet.
Farmers argue land pooling will permanently alter the religious character of Simhastha and convert fertile land into concrete townships.
Protest to continue indefinitely until government issues formal written order scrapping land pooling and related projects.
