Madhya Pradesh Scraps Ujjain Land Pooling Plan for Simhastha 2028 After Farmer Pressure

The decision followed late-night talks with Bharatiya Kisan Sangh leaders ahead of a planned siege at the Ujjain collectorate.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Mohan Yadav ordered the Urban Administration and the Ujjain district administration to issue formal cancellation orders after a meeting with BKS leaders and senior BJP officials.
  • The Bharatiya Kisan Sangh called off its November 18 'Ghera Dalo, Dera Dalo' agitation once the rollback was announced.
  • The scrapped plan had proposed permanent roads, utilities, ashrams and services across roughly 2,378 hectares with an estimated ₹2,000 crore outlay.
  • BKS leaders said the government accepted their demands to withdraw Gazette notifications under TDS 8–11, drop cases against farmers and halt permanent construction in the Simhastha zone.
  • Questions persist over prior notifications and some acquisitions by the Ujjain Development Authority, and reports note Section 52 allows only revocation or modification, fueling farmer skepticism about a possible return of the scheme.
