One of the key demands relates to the ongoing farmers’ protest in Village Ronija of Gautam Buddha Nagar district. The organization stated that farmers have been staging a protest for the past 12 months and demanded that affected landowners be provided additional compensation along with residential plots. The memorandum urges the state government to resolve the matter through dialogue and ensure justice for the affected families.

The memorandum also raises concerns regarding an incident in Farrukhabad district’s Kayamganj tehsil. The farmers’ organization alleged that local farmers were subjected to inappropriate treatment by officials and were taken into police custody, resulting in humiliation. Based on these allegations, the union has demanded an impartial judicial inquiry into the matter and appropriate action if any wrongdoing is established.

Electricity-related issues affecting farmers and consumers in Mathura district also feature prominently in the memorandum. The organization claimed that problems associated with smart electricity meters, increased power bills and irregular electricity supply have created hardships for farmers as well as ordinary consumers. It urged the government to review the implementation of smart meters, address billing concerns and improve the reliability of power supply in rural and urban areas.

The memorandum further highlights alleged irregularities in consolidation-related work in Bhaiswar village of Sonbhadra district. According to the union, the matter has remained unresolved for a considerable period despite repeated representations. The organization requested the Chief Minister to ensure a transparent inquiry and take corrective measures wherever necessary.
