To build the road, BDA requires over 2,600 acres of land
The State Government will have an uphill task acquiring land for the ambitious 72-km Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) that will connect Tumakuru Road with Hosur Road. Two days after the Karnataka Cabinet gave its approval to float a global tender for the project, farmers held a protest on Friday demanding fair compensation for their land. Protesters blocked the road near the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) head office after which they interacted with the managing director, Rajesh Gowda and the chairman, S.R. Vishwanath.
“The land acquisition for the PRR project has been pending for 17 years. There are reports that as per the recent Supreme Court order, the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 does not apply to acquire our land for the PRR project. This has made us more anxious,” said Raghu, a farmer.
