The State Government has made all arrangements to maintain law and order and peace across the State in view of the Opposition-planned 10-day farmers’ agitation beginning on June 1 on the first anniversary of the Mandsaur farmer protest which took place last year and witnessed death of six persons.

Every intelligence input has been taken seriously this time and action to restore confidence has been taken by the government which went fragile after Mandsaur farmers protest last year.On Wednesday IG Intelligence Makrand Deusakar said that preparations at the district units are done in a peaceful manner at their level.Several organizations have cooperated and agreed to maintain dialogue with the police at very possible level and farmers have mentioned in memorandum that they protest is only ‘ Village leave’ which means people of villages would be on leave, he added.
Ujjain division is considered highly sensitive and this time Bhopal, Hoshangabad, Harda, Rajgarh, Raisen, Sehore are considered sensitive.
The regions of Mahakaushal, Jabalpur, Narsinghpur, Chindwara and Balaghat regions would remain affected by the protest.
