Farmers of villages around Shoolagiri led by Kolathur Mani, founder of Dravidar Viduthalai Kazhagam, staged a protest against the proposed land acquisition for SIPCOT in Shoolagiri by filing petitions under the Right to Information Act en masse here on Monday.
The farmers under the banner of Nila Urimai Meetpu Iyakkam of Alasebam village in Ayarnapalli panchayat arrived at the Collectorate and filed petitions under the Right to Information Act seeking details on the land acquisition for a project they were yet to hear about directly from the authorities, while survey of lands was allegedly under way.
Mr. Mani told The Hindu there was a proposed acquisition plan for 3,024 acre for SIPCOT. The Special Tahsildar to land acquisition had written to the sub-registrar for guideline value of lands in and around Udhanapalli and Shoolagiri.
