Members of the Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Association continued their protest with support from other public welfare organisations for the fourth day at Thirukkadaiyur near Tranquebar on Friday demanding adequate compensation for their agricultural and other land acquired by the authorities for four-laning of the Kollidam-Porayar stretch of the on-going NHAI project in the Villpuram-Nagapattinam sector.
The protest that began on Tuesday in front of the office of the NHAI concessionaire despite refusal of permission by the police forms part of a series of agitations in recent months by the farmers and other public welfare organisations.
