Now it is up to a number of farmers to propose a soil -obtaining mechanism for the long -term delayed peripheral circular road (PRR), now rebrated as Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC).
Farmers’ leaders plan to propose either to move the proposed section of the BBC by 10-15 km, or mark existing land and issue a new announcement that sets out the acquisition price based on the market value of 2025.
In addition, Srinivas Mavallipura, President of the Association of Farmers affected by the BBC, told the Hindes that several other farmers were ready to move the court against the project if the government did not repair an acceptable compensation mechanism.
“There was a forfeiture that did not affect the government in the least, but deeply influenced the farmers. Many families have lost members who fought for their country, and now the second generation is fighting. Everyone deserves justice,” Mavallipura said.
He said that farmers would require the government to carry economic losses caused by the project announced in 2005, and since then it has not been to the thumb. They also plan to demand government employment for family members of those critically affected.
Gautam Chandra Jain, vice president of the group, said that these proposals would be submitted before the government at the upcoming meeting with the main minister and representative of the main minister.
Mr. Jain added that if the government is determined to enforce the project forward, compensation must be fair to farmers who have not been able to use their land over the last two decades and have suffered serious economic anxiety.
“If the budget is a problem for the BDA, let them move the proposed project 10–15 km out of the current alignment, where the soil values are in accordance with the amount of compensation prepared by the government,” he said.
He claimed that the government would probably not do so, because many influential persons and politicians have purchased land land near the currently announced section. “If the project is shifted elsewhere, the expected increase in market value for these nearby countries will collapse,” he said.
BDA attitude
BDA officials, including the chairman of Haris, Commissioner P. Manivannan and BBC Chairman LK Atheeq, chaired a meeting with disabled farmers and proposed a new framework for compensation.
The BDA proposed four options for the compensation package: the ratio of the floor area (FAR) for the acquired land, transferable development rights (TDR) corresponding to the market value, land compensation (usual BDA method) and compensation in the right to fair compensation and transparency in obtaining land, rehabilitation and reheptation law from 2013 (market value 2005).
Farmers demand a marking
Although the government agreed to compensate under the 2013 law, farmers insist on the designation of land and the question of a new announcement. Their reason is simple: the disturbance value of 2025 will be five to eight times higher than the 2005 value.
Mr. Mavallipura said that farmers do not trust the BDA, which has repeatedly failed to maintain their promises.
“When BMRCL, BMRDA and even the Mysore (Muda) office (Muda) accepted the 2013 compensatory model, it is not clear why the BDA still adheres to the outdated act of the British era from 1894,” he said.
He also raised a question about the land use plan. The BDA suggests that a 100 m wide corridor will be built an eight -sided road along with service roads on both sides, a total of 65 meters, including a median 5 m. The remaining 35 meters, divided on both sides, would develop into commercial spaces that would then be offered to farmers.
“Why do they get 100 meters of soil on a 65 m road? Why do they want to develop the sides into commercial space? Let them get them only,” he said.
