Bidadi Farmers Rally Gen Z After 500‑Day Protest
Farmers in a town called Bidadi in India have been marching for more than 500 days to stop a big new township that would take over their farmland.
They want to protect their trees and the milk they produce.
Now they are asking young people, called Gen Z, to help them.
The farmers made flyers and used social media to get more support.
They hope the city will cancel the plans and keep the land for farming.
Farmers in Bidadi, Karnataka have been protesting the proposed 9,600‑acre township for over 500 days.
They are now seeking Gen Z support through pamphlets and social media to amplify their campaign.
The protest demands cancellation of acquisition notices, protection of fertile land, and prevention of forced urban expansion near Bengaluru.
Farmers cite loss of 10 lakh trees and 22,000 litres of milk to the Karnataka Milk Federation if the township proceeds.
Youth involvement was inspired by the successful Cockroach Janta Party protest against the NEET paper leak.
