In a statement, he said that the government was planning to acquire 2,700 acres of farmland in over 11 villages around Tiruvannamalai district for the expansion of SIPCOT, Cheyyar. Farmers have been protesting for the past 20 days against the move, but the government was not respecting their sentiments, he added.
