People of Hadinaaru and surrounding villages in Nanjangud taluk of Mysuru district have voiced their opposition to the proposed land acquisition move of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB).
The KIADB intends to acquire nearly 1,057 acres of land in five villages including Hadinaaru which abuts a large lake and is a major biodiversity hotspot that plays host to winter migratory birds.
The people of the region met on Sunday and reiterated their resolve that they would not be swayed by compensation offers and would prefer to retain the land and lead an independent life.
