Bengaluru: A group representing farmers, whose land has been notified for the 74-kilometre Peripheral Ring Road project, has urged the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to withdraw the tenders for the project.
It said the authority did not clarify the compensation structure for land losers in the tenders and has vowed to hold a protest on Friday, if the BDA goes ahead with the tenders without offering compensation according to the 2013 Act.
Mavallipura Srinivas, president of the PRR Raitha Hagu Niveshanadara Sangha, accused the BDA at a press conference on Tuesday of sticking to the colonial-era compensation laws, while the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Karnataka Housing Board and Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) are following the 2013 Act while compensating land losers.
