Farmer Protests Delayed Funds for Cattle Shed at Office
A farmer named Satish Koli was very upset because he hadn't received money for a cattle shed he built.
The local government, called the Gram Panchayat, approved the money a year ago, but it never arrived.
To show how angry he was, he brought his buffalo to the Gram Panchayat office and tied it up there.
He said he needed the money to pay back the loans he took out to build the shed.
The government officials then talked to the farmer and said there were some small problems with the shed.
They fixed it, and they agreed to give him the money.
