People who lost their land for the Kinfra Knowledge Park project at Ramanattukara staged a dharna in front of the office of local MLA V.K.C. Mammed Koya at Cheruvannur on Tuesday. It has been 28 days since they launched a protest in front of the park, demanding their rightful compensation.
The 140 landowners who lost their land for the project have reportedly not received a large chunk of the compensation since the government took over the land 12 years ago. The government has even neglected the Kerala High Court order in 2018 that asked the State to pay complete compensation to the landowners, said K. Koyamutti Haji, president of the Ramanattukara Kinfra Knowledge Park Land Losers Action Committee.
