UP: Authorities order probe after farmers climb 100-ft tank for biometrics to purchase urea

Farmers in Balrampur climbed a 100-foot water tank for biometric authentication to purchase urea.

A cooperative employee was seated atop the tank with a biometric device for thumb impressions.

District Magistrate Vipin Jain ordered an inquiry into the incident.

Poor internet connectivity near the Indo-Nepal border is cited as a possible reason.
