Peripheral Ring Road: Land losers protest demanding compensation under 2014 Act

Farmers, whose land had been notified for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project 18 years ago, have urged the government to drop the project if they cannot be compensated as per the 2014 Act.

Staging a protest before the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) office on Monday after the state government’s intention to revive the 65-kilometre road project, the farmers, gathering under the banner ‘PRR Raitha Haagu Niveshanadara Sangha’, met Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah to present a memorandum with the compensation demand.
