Ujjain's Simhastha Land Pooling Act Abolished: Farmers Win After Protests

• Madhya Pradesh government completely repealed the Simhastha Land Pooling Act in Ujjain, issuing a new notification.
• All Simhastha-related land pooling schemes in Ujjain district are now ineffective, revoking old confusing orders.
• The decision followed intense political pressure, protests from farmer organizations like Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, and objections from MLAs.
• The Act, implemented for Simhastha Mahakumbh, aimed to collect private agricultural land for development, but farmers feared permanent acquisition.
• Bharatiya Kisan Sangh had threatened a statewide agitation and a 'Ghera Dalo, Dera Dalo' protest from December 26 if the Act wasn't withdrawn.

Why It Matters: Government abolishes Ujjain's Simhastha Land Pooling Act, a major victory for farmers after widespread protests.
