Farmers buried themselves neck-deep in ground to protest against alleged land acquisition by Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) for a housing project. Farmers are demanding that their lands be acquired as per the amended land Acquisition Act and compensation awarded accordingly. Farmers staged ‘Zameen Samadhi Satyagraha’ against alleged land acquisition by JDA. Reportedly, JDA has taken possession of 600 bighas of land so far and deposited Rs 60 crore in a local court as compensation. The villagers have refused to accept the amount. They claim that the money is not equivalent with the prevailing market rates.
