In Bargarh, Odisha, a young farmer named Kandarp Barik threatened to consume poison during a protest at the DRCS office due to the non-issuance of paddy procurement tokens. The incident caused a stir, but a farmer union advisor intervened and handed the poison bottle to the police. Despite multiple appeals to the District Collector and local MLA, the farmer claimed he couldn't sell his Rabi crop, leading to this desperate act.
