Farmers Take to the Streets Over Fertilizer Crisis

Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are currently grappling with a severe shortage of fertilizers, leading to long queues and frustration. In Hamirpur, the situation escalated as farmers protested on the national highway due to the lack of fertilizers at the Maudaha PCF distribution center. The protest prompted a response from local police and administrative officials.

The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) arrived to address the farmers but ended up in a heated exchange. While speaking into a microphone, he reacted angrily to a farmer's comment, threatening, "One slap and you will urinate." This incident has since gone viral on social media.
