Overview

• Narendra Singh Kushwah sat outside Collector Sanjeev Srivastava’s official residence in Bhind, accusing officials of mismanaging fertiliser distribution.
• A circulating video captures Kushwah shouting at the collector and briefly raising his hand before security personnel stepped in.
• Protesting farmers said cooperative societies made them queue for hours and gave only one or two sacks, while the same fertiliser was available at higher prices in the open market.
• Kushwah alleged irregularities at government-run centres and criticised a cap that limits each farmer to one or two packets regardless of landholding.
• Senior police and administrative officers rushed to defuse the situation as Kushwah warned of an escalating agitation, even as the state leadership maintains stocks are adequate.
