💨 Abstract

Protesters in Bihar's Purnea district demand a Makhana Board, following the Union Budget announcement. The region, one of the biggest producers of makhana (fox nut), argues that it is unfairly overlooked despite being the gateway to the Northeast. Purnea MP Pappu Yadav has threatened a "people's war" if the government does not address their concerns.
