What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Farmers protested in Fatehabad, Haryana, over the lack of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy and the shortage of DAP fertilizer. Protesters alleged that farmers were being exploited during government paddy procurement, noting that while the MSP was Rs 2,461 per quintal, they were receiving only Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,200. They also demanded a 50 per cent subsidy on DAP and urea fertilizers. Concerns were raised that a new canal water schedule could negatively affect irrigation and the sowing of Rabi crops.
