What Happened

Farmers in the Bairamangala and Kanchugaranahalli regions held a mock funeral for the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township project on Wednesday. Participants marched with a symbolic effigy, chanting slogans and using brooms to strike the effigy before burning it on the road. The protest was led by the local land protection committee, which stated that the movement against the township has continued for 520 days.

Political opposition to the project has also intensified as the BJP and JD(S) have resolved to form a united front against the Congress government. Senior leaders from both parties, including H. D. Kumaraswamy and Basavaraj Bommai, met to plan a joint padayatra. The parties intend to challenge the state government on the township issue both inside and outside the upcoming Karnataka Assembly session.
