Farmers Launch Hunger Strike Over Bharat Mala Road Compensation
Farmers in a village are upset because they haven't been paid properly for the land they lost to build a new road.
They are part of the Bharat Mala project.
They say they lost their farms and other things like trees when the road was built, but they haven't received all the money they are owed.
They have tried protesting before, but nothing changed.
Now, they're on a hunger strike, which means they won't eat until they get their money.
They hope the government or road builders will finally listen and give them what they deserve.
Farmers in Deva Banda village, Aiza Mandal, initiated a hunger strike over unpaid compensation.
The protest is related to the Bharat Mala road project, where farmers lost agricultural land.
Farmers are demanding compensation for damages to pipelines, trees, and infrastructure.
Previous protests, including hunger strikes, did not yield a response from authorities.
The farmers vow to continue the strike until they receive their due compensation.
