Vehemently opposing the alleged move to use their agricultural land for the TRS’s ensuing “Vijaya Garjana” public meeting, agitated farmers staged yet another protest at Devannapeta village in Hasanparthy mandal on Saturday.
A section of the aggrieved farmers of the village have been protesting against any move to use their agricultural lands for the Vijaya Garjana meeting tentatively scheduled to be held on November 29, citing “potential threat” to their standing crops from the “imminent” massive turnout at the public meeting.
The protests were first triggered by a visit of a TRS delegation to Devannapeta on Wednesday to finalise the venue for the public meeting at the village, sources said.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
