The proposed construction of an international-level cricket stadium on the outskirts of Mysuru has been opposed by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS).
The land acquisition process for the proposed stadium to come up in Yelwal hobli, has been initiated and 26.31 acres was required for the purpose.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday Mr. Badagalpura Nagendra of KRRS said that the farmers were opposed to the proposed stadium as the area was suitable for agriculture and fertile land was being acquired for non-agricultural purposes in the name of development.
