A farmer named Charuni in Haryana has started a hunger strike demanding that the state procure bajra at the Minimum Support Price.
A farmer named Charuni from Haryana has commenced a hunger strike to press the state government to procure bajra at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The protest, which began this week, seeks to secure fair compensation for millet growers who face volatile market prices.
Bajra is a staple crop in Haryana, and the MSP policy is designed to protect farmers from price fluctuations. By demanding procurement at MSP, Charuni aims to ensure that millet farmers receive a stable income and are not left vulnerable to market downturns.
The hunger strike has attracted attention from local media and farmer groups, highlighting ongoing concerns about procurement and pricing in the state. No official response from the Haryana government has been reported yet, but the protest underscores the urgency of addressing farmers’ demands.
The movement is part of a broader pattern of farmer protests across India, where agricultural producers are calling for stronger state support and fair market practices.
