Farmers whose land was identified for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project have taken objection to the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) floating tender for the project without fixing the rate for their land. They have demanded the BDA to decide on compensation at the earliest.
Eshwar Reddy, a farmer living in Gulimangla village, said: “I have a one acre of land and for the PRR project, the entire land has been notified. The BDA has floated a tender without finalising the compensation package. We want the State Government to give clarity on how much we will get per acre. Our primary demand is to announce compensation as per the Land Acquisition Act of 2013. Until that is met, we are not going to part with our land.“
