Mandsaur farmers' protest: CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan ends his fast for 'peace'

They had come down from Mandsaur seeking justice for the deceased.

Chouhan had launched his indefinite fast for "peace restoration" on Saturday at the BHEL Dussehra Maidan in Bhopal amid violent farmer protests in western MP, especially in Dewas and Mandsaur districts over the last ten days.

A day ahead of launching his fast, Chouhan, whose government had came under fire over the peasant deaths, had said that the agitation had turned "anarchic", and had appealed to farmers to come to Dussehra Maidan and have a dialogue with him.

"I won't sit in my office at Mantralaya (secretariat)... but sit at Dussehra Maidan and do all (official) work from there," Chouhan had said.
