On payment of stamp duty rate of their land, they will suffer badly and it would be difficult for them to earn their bread and butter. The farmers further stated that in order to save the poor farmers, Central Government’s Land acquisition Act 2013 should be made effective in the state. Since the Assembly session in the state is starting w.e.f. 02 January’ 2018, they appealed to the State President for the projection of the Bill regarding the issue in the assembly for clearance.

He assured the farmers that a bill in this regard will be projected in the coming Assembly session and farmers will be paid appropriate handsome compensation for the loss of their livelihood from the land coming under the ambit of “Ring Road”.
