Farmers in over 18 Rewari villages have threatened to gherao the office of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on November 25, 2019, to mount pressure for the release of compensation for land acquired to construct a bypass connecting Rewari and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan through the National Highway-11.
“The NHAI has been promising to release the compensation within three or four days for over a month. We are fed up and have decided to gherao the NHAI office in Gurugram on Monday if compensation is not awarded by then,” said Suresh Yadav, a leader of affected farmers.
