Mandsaur violence: MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan meets farmers' families

Days after ending his fast, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday met the families of the deceased farmers in Mandsaur.

Ahead of Chouhan's Mandsaur visit, section 144 was revoked from the violence-hit region.

Earlier on Sunday, Chouhan, who started an indefinite fast on June, ended his fast by consuming coconut water.

"We will make the state land use advisory service so that farmers get correct and timely information about climate change. I, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi promise that we will irrigate every land. We have decided to implement every policy with the consent of farmers," he said before ending the fast.

Chouhan also entailed how the families of the deceased met him and asked him to discontinue the fast.

Mandsaur became the epicenter of a farmers' agitation over a demand for loan waivers and better prices for their produce.

During the agitation, six farmers were gunned down by the police, thereby drawing criticism from political parties.

Meanwhile, the state government has issued a notification for the judicial probe of the Mandsaur violence. Retired Justice JK Jain will head the one member judicial commission.

The single member commission will probe under what circumstances the farmers were killed in the agitation.

The commission will also probe the action taken by the administration and police to control the situation was appropriate or not.
