A farmer in Karnataka’s Bagalkot district slapped a revenue official with a slipper during a protest over delayed crop compensation payments, witnesses said Friday.
The confrontation erupted outside a taluk office where dozens gathered to demand disbursement for flood-damaged fields approved months earlier.
Police registered cases against both the farmer and officials accused of provocation, while agricultural officers promised expedited verification lists.
Farmer unions said the incident reflects broader frustration with bureaucratic inertia despite announced relief packages.
District magistrate teams scheduled grievance camps next week to prevent further confrontations during the sowing season.
