Farmer bodies warn of statewide stir over Bidadi land row

Bengaluru, July 14 (UNI) Escalating its opposition to the proposed Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township (GBIT) project at Bidadi, a coalition of Karnataka farmer organisations on Tuesday warned the state government of a statewide agitation if it resorts to forcible land acquisition, accusing it of betraying assurances given to protesting farmers.
The Samyukta Horata-Karnataka, a joint platform of farmer, Dalit, labour, student, youth and women's organisations, alleged that the government was attempting to push ahead with a joint land measurement and survey (JMC) under heavy police deployment despite sustained resistance from landowners.
The organisations said farmers have been protesting the township project for over 18 months and have repeatedly declared that they will neither sell their land nor permit its acquisition.
