Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 29 (ANI): Amid the ongoing farmers' protest over moong procurement and other agriculture-related demands, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday said the state government had constituted a committee to engage with farmers and resolve their concerns through dialogue.

"We are celebrating the 'Krishi Kalyan Varsh' across Madhya Pradesh and carrying out several works for the benefit of farmers.
