Tractors carrying hundreds of farmers from districts arrived last nite and were in capital city early morning blocking roads particularly around polytechnic square, new market, depot square, near raj bhavan, chetak bridge, and all roads leading to Shymala hills leading to traffic chaos in major parts of the city.
Though police diverted the traffic to other roads but jams and traffic chaos was witnessed in city. It is said that many trucks had lined up on hoshganbad road blocking the entry to Bhopal.
The farmers were seeking resolution of their demands which included more electricity, low prices for urea, implementation of scheme of payment of bills for pumps in instalments, control over sale of spurious fertilisers etc. At places they were seen cooking while tractors were lined up to block the city roads.
