Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced that the government will provide compensation exceeding Rs 3 crore per acre to farmers for land acquired for the Bidadi Township project.

The Chief Minister emphasized that the government is not forcing any land acquisition and is committed to providing fair rates compared to the previous government's offer of Rs 25 lakh per acre.
