What Happened

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. He also stated that farmers who prefer not to receive cash can opt for 50 percent developed sites. 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.

The announcement comes as the BJP and JD(S) launched a three-day protest march to oppose the land acquisition for the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township project. While the Chief Minister acknowledged the opposition's right to protest, he invited them to discuss the project during the monsoon session of the legislature beginning August 13. Meanwhile, sources within the Greater Bengaluru Development Authority have indicated that providing compensation beyond Rs 3 crore per acre may be a rare possibility.
