Farmers Protest Survey for AI-Powered Township Project
The Karnataka government is planning to build a new township near Bengaluru.
But, when officials started surveying the land, the local farmers were not happy.
They say the government didn't talk to them first and they are worried about how much money they will get for their land.
The farmers are asking the government to stop the survey until they are consulted and promised fair compensation.
The government wants to build this township quickly, but now it might be delayed because of the protests.
Farmers in Ramanagara taluk protested the survey for the Greater Bengaluru Township project.
Protests were sparked by lack of consultation and clarity regarding compensation.
The government used a mobile app-based survey method involving multiple departments.
Villagers from Bhairamangala, Kanchugaranahalli and others participated in the protests.
Farmers demand fair compensation and consultation before land acquisition proceeds.
