Karnataka government issues final notifications to acquire land for Bidadi project, impacting two villages

The state government has issued final notifications for acquiring about 1,895 acres in Byramangala and Kanchugaranahalli villages. These villages have been the epicentre of long-standing protests against the proposed Bidadi Integrated Township. The government has now completed issuing final notifications for all nine villages identified for the project, covering a total of 7,343 acres. This development continues despite ongoing opposition from landowners, whose protests have entered its 570th day.
