Congress warns MPEB over Badnagar farmers' power protest

Badnagar, a town in Madhya Pradesh, saw a group of farmers block power lines as part of a protest demanding attention to their grievances. The demonstration disrupted electricity supply in the area for several hours. In response, leaders of the Indian National Congress issued a formal warning to the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board (MPEB), urging it not to impose a lockdown on power distribution. The party argued that a shutdown would further harm the local community and exacerbate tensions. No additional details on the demands or negotiations have been released at this stage.
