Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that important decisions have always been taken by the state government in the interest of farmers. This sequence is still going on. Real information about the current problems of farmers is also obtained from organisations like Kisan Manch, which helps in solving small and big problems related to farmers quickly. In the interest of farmers and other consumers, the state government is working continuously in this direction while staying alert and active.

Complaints related to electricity supply and electricity bills errors should be resolved immediately through the camps. Even at the present time of sowing of Rabi crops, farmers should be supplied the required electricity without any problem.
The Chief Minister was discussing the suggestions received related to farmers' welfare in a meeting held with the functionaries of Kisan Manch in Mantralaya today.
