As stated by the farmers, they had given up hope of receiving compensation. Farmers are overjoyed now that they have received their compensation. These farmers have expressed gratitude to the state government and the Chief Minister for receiving compensation. Farmers' land had been taken for irrigation projects, and they had not received compensation for nearly 15 years. When these farmers addressed Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel about their issues during his Bhent-Mulaqat Abhiyan, he directed the officers to investigate the land acquisition compensation cases and present the farmers with the compensation amount as soon as possible.
