Kurukshetra Farmers Launch Indefinite Protest: NH-152 Land Compensation Row Escalates
Farmers affiliated with the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) in Kurukshetra have launched an indefinite protest. Their grievance stems from alleged non-payment of compensation for land acquired for the construction of National Highway 152.
The protesting farmers accuse the district administration of reneging on promised solatium payments. They claim assurances given earlier have not been fulfilled, leading to their current agitation.
The matter is currently sub judice, adding another layer of complexity to the already tense situation. The farmers, however, express dissatisfaction with the pace of legal proceedings and the administration’s response to their plight.
This protest highlights the ongoing challenges faced by farmers in accessing fair compensation for land acquired for development projects. The situation underscores the need for transparent and timely land acquisition processes to avoid similar conflicts in the future. The impact on the NH-152 project and the wider Kurukshetra district remains to be seen.
