    Assam jute-price protest and deaths

    Farmers protesting low jute prices in Bechimari, Darrang, alleged that a buyer cartel was depressing returns. The confrontation escalated and police firing killed four farmers. The episode intensified criticism of procurement arrangements and pressure for direct farmer purchasing, although responsibility extended beyond JCI to wider state and market institutions.
