Members of Mahanayaka Rakshana Vedike and Pragati Para Raithara Sanghatane staged a demonstration in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Thursday alleging land encroachment by a mining company.
The farmers alleged that large swathes of agricultural land belonging to the local community in and around Chamanamadahalli and Kurihundi villages in Nanjangud taluk of Mysuru district, have been used for bauxite mining and wanted the district administration to crack down on it.
The farmers alleged that fake land records have been created to give an impression that the land has been acquired by the Government and pointed out that no land belonging to SC/ST can be acquired for any purpose as per the law.
