Mohali Villages Reject Land Acquisition, SAD Announces Protests
Farmers in several Mohali villages are upset about a government plan to take their land for development.
They don't like the new rules for land acquisition, because they feel it's unfair and doesn't give them enough value for their property.
They also feel that the government is helping private companies from Delhi.
A political leader is supporting the farmers and planning protests to stop the plan.
The farmers say they want development, but they want it to be fair to everyone, and not just for big businesses.
Several Mohali villages passed resolutions rejecting GMADA's land acquisition plan.
Farmers oppose the new land pooling policy for Aerotropolis Phase expansion.
Farmers cited unfulfilled promises of commercial plots and unequal land value.
SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal announced protests against the land acquisition policy.
Badal accused the AAP government of favoring Delhi-based developers.
