Rajasthan: Farmers Protest Against Ethanol Plant Turns Violent; 14 Vehicles Torched, MLA Injured

Violent clashes erupted in Rajasthan’s Hanumangarh district on Wednesday as farmers protested against the construction of an ethanol plant. The agitation turned destructive with a mob torching at least 14 vehicles, including a JCB machine, and clashing with police personnel. Congress MLA Abhimanyu Poonia, who joined the protest supporting the farmers’ concerns about soil contamination, was injured in the melee. Police resorted to lathi-charge and tear gas to disperse the crowd. The protesters allege the factory will damage local agriculture.
