Farmers in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur and Morena districts today took to the streets seeking fair prices for milk and better irrigation facilities.
In Sheopur, farmers staged a protest at Patel Chowk, demanding that a canal from Chambal river be routed to 35 villages in the area.
In Morena, farmers dumped milk on roads in Salabgarh area, demanding fair prices.
Kishore Maheshwari and Bupendra Baghel, protesters' leaders, said big dairy product manufacturers were asking farmers to sell the milk at Rs 35 per litre instead of Rs 50, following the imposition of the GST.
"We are going to stop the milk supply from tomorrow to intensify our protest," the farmer leaders announced.
The state had witnessed an intense farmers' agitation in June this year. Five farmers were killed in police firing on June 6 in Mandsaur district.
