Farmers want Karur-Coimbatore bypass road proposal withdrawn
The Hindu
They submit their demands to District Collector G.S. Sameeran
About 3,000 farmers in the Western region have written to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin demanding withdrawal of the proposed Karur-Coimbatore bypass road project.
On Monday, a group of farmers submitted their demands to District Collector G.S. Sameeran.
The farmers said that instead of constructing a new six-lane road, the existing road between Karur and Coimbatore should be widened. A new road would mean acquiring vast tracts of agriculture land. The DMK had promised during the parliamentary elections that it would support only widening of existing roads and not greenfield projects. Hence, the State government should take up widening of the existing roads with minimum acquisition of land.
