Members of the district unit of Akhil Bharath Kisan Sabha took out a procession and staged a dharna outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Saturday in protest against the amendments to the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
The activists alleged that the BJP government decided to bring in amendments to the Act through an Ordinance without allowing any debate on the subject in Parliament. They said that the amendments were against the interests of farmers.
