A farmer in Sironj tehsil of Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh, collapsed in shock after the local administration ran a tractor over his standing crop. The action destroyed nearly 30 bighas of crops, leaving the farmer, Moolchand, unconscious, while his wife pleaded with officials to stop. Her cries went unheard.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in the Ketan Dam area, where officials justified the action claiming the land was encroached upon and that the leases were cancelled two years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tehsildar (local revenue official) Vikas Agarwal said, “This was government land, and it was necessary to free it from encroachment. We have taken action as per the rules.”<\/p>\n

Moolchand, however, insisted that he had deposited the fine for the land in October and has a receipt as proof. Despite this, the administration proceeded with the demolition.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the traumatic day, Moolchand said, “When I saw the tractor running over my hard-earned crop, I could not bear it. I had a heart attack and fainted. When I regained consciousness, my crop had been destroyed.”<\/p>\n

The incident has sparked widespread anger among farmers and turned into a political flashpoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Images of the distraught farmer and his grieving wife have fuelled criticism against the administration, with opposition leaders calling for accountability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Chief Minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath strongly condemned the move, comparing it to British-era atrocities against farmers.<\/p>\n

“Atrocities that were not committed against farmers even during the British era are happening under the BJP rule,” said Kamal Nath.<\/p>\n
