The much-awaited Baddi-Chandigarh rail line project work hit a roadblock today when villagers of Shitalpur protested its bhumi pujan on the plea that they were being given lesser compensation. Railway officials, who had come to Sheetalpur for performing bhumi pujan, faced the ire of the villagers.
An aggrieved farmer Dinesh Kaushal said as against the rate of Rs 25 lakh granted for a bigha of land in 2008-2009, the authorities were granting Rs 18 lakh for its adjoining land which was unjust.
