KRRS and Activists Protest Karnataka Land Acquisition for Bidadi Township and Mysuru Institute
The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) and allied groups are protesting the State government's plans to acquire agricultural land for two projects: a large township near Bidadi and a NIMHANS-type institute near Mysuru. KRRS leaders criticize the government for issuing acquisition notifications despite assurances against forced land acquisition. Protesters highlight the impact on farmers cultivating fertile land for decades and urge alternative sites to protect agriculture and local livelihoods. Demonstrations are planned to oppose these proposals.
