Karnataka Issues Final Land Acquisition Notifications for Bidadi Township Project
The Karnataka government has issued final land acquisition notifications for about 1,895 acres in Byramangala and Kanchugaranahalli villages, completing the process for all nine villages involved in the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township project. Despite ongoing protests by farmers opposing the project for over 550 days, the government continues compensation and development planning. Farmers have criticized the government for proceeding before a committee's report, while officials maintain that work need not be fully halted during the process.
