The State government’s decision to acquire additional 3,269.29 acres of land to develop the Hyderabad-Bangalore Industrial Development Corridor in four villages in Yadgir district has attracted public anger with farmers gathering at Rachanalli Cross on Sunday and resolving not to give land but intensify agitation if required.
The Special Land Acquisition Officer of Karnataka Industries Area Development Board (KIADB) recently wrote to the Tahsildar of Yagdir suggesting sending notices to land owners in Kadechur, Daddal, Shettyhalli and Rachanalli villages of Saidapur hobli in Yadgir taluk for acquisition.
Farmers who participated in a preliminary meeting expressed anger at the government for not keeping a promise of providing jobs and extending other benefits for those who parted with 3,232 acres of land in 2011 to develop industries in the Kadechur-Badiyal Industrial Hub. They further said that they won’t give an additional 3,269.29 acres of land for the Hyderabad-Bangalore Industrial Development Corridor.
