The Hindu
Activists say that poor people and landless persons are dependent on these patches of land either for grazing livestock or had taken up cultivation for generations
The proposed move to release government to private parties in Karnataka has come under flak from various quarters, including farmers and activists who staged a demonstration in Mysuru on February 2.
A cabinet sub-committee has been constituted to work out a way to release patches of lands – held as gomala, gayarana, soppinabetta, hallubanni, etc – to private parties and institutions. The move has been described as disastrous from both the social and environmental point of view.
