Madhya Pradesh increases the limit for moong procurement to 60%, according to reports from Scroll.in and The Hindu. The decision is announced against the backdrop of a protest by farmers who have reached the state capital, Bhopal, seeking redress of their demands. Both outlets say thousands of farmers breach police barricades and march towards the chief minister’s residence in Bhopal. The Hindu reports that nearly 2,000 farmers set up camp near Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s home, while Scroll.in describes large numbers of farmers moving towards the chief minister’s residence. The procurement cap increase is presented as a response to the unrest in the capital and the farmers’ attempts to draw attention to their grievances. The articles do not describe other policy details beyond the raised procurement threshold. No specific timeline for implementation is provided in the excerpts, but the decision is framed as coming after the protest action and the farmers’ presence near the chief minister’s residence.
