Devanahalli farmers appeal to CM to stop land acquisition
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|July 04, 2025
WITH the farmers' protest in Devanahalli entering the seventh day, leaders from the National Alliance of People's Movement (NAPM) and several farmer groups have issued a fresh appeal to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, demanding immediate withdrawal of land acquisition proceedings for 1,777 acres of fertile, multi-crop farmland in Channarayapatna hobli.
It is home to over 800 farmers — many from Dalit, Adivasi and other marginalized communities.
In a detailed open letter ahead of a key government meeting scheduled for July 4, the activists urged the state to uphold the rights and dignity of cultivators. The letter refers to a 2022 KIADB survey which shows that over 80 per cent of affected farmers oppose the land takeover, originally initiated under the previous BJP government for a proposed Hi-Tech Defence and Aerospace Park. Protesters say the move endangers both livelihoods and the region's food security.
