Farmers protest marginal hike in sugar cane prices

In a dramatic display of discontent, sugarcane farmers in West Champaran set an effigy of the state’s sugarcane minister aflame, protesting the Bihar government's meager price hike. With diesel prices soaring and neighboring Uttar Pradesh offering better rates, these farmers are rallying for a fair price of at least Rs 400 per quintal.
