This thread 🧵is regarding the irregularities in acquiring fertile agricultural land in Sarjapura for the proposed SWIFT City 1. To begin with, the document presented to the cabinet in the meeting held on 20/02/20224 specifies that the notified areas are dry lands and kushki lands (farmland fed by only rainwater) and no development activities as the reasons for the acquisition. However, many farmers in these lands grow mulberry (sericulture), vegetables, and commercial crops, and they have polyhouses with huge investments. Also, most of the lands are irrigated for the entire year, with many farmers having 1-3 borewells for irrigation. See the videos captured with a drone.

How can #KIADB declare this fertile 2500 acre land as barren land and forcefully aquire? Will Minister @MBPatil and CM @siddaramaiah give justice to Sarjapura Hobli 11 villages farmers!? Seeking justice for Anekal Farmers from @RahulGandhi @FARMERSVSKIADB #Anekal @vijayatimes @BangaloreMirror @thenewsminute

Can the government release the data on the vacant land available with KIADB in entire Karnataka to setup industries? Also why is there a sudden requirement of 15-20k acres around Bengaluru? @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @MBPatil @vij

🚨Anekal Farmers are being forced to sell ~2500 acres of cultivatable land for Swift City Project.🚨 Anekal farmers are pleading govt to stop Bengaluru development now and develop Uttara Karnataka instead. Bengaluru has actually grown on the expense of innocent native farmers .

Hi @NHAI_Official Isn't there official rule that vehicles need not pay toll charges if queue is 100m long or we are in queue for >10 mins? The person at Attibele toll plaza, Karnataka-Tamilnadu border says they don't have any guidelines Can you please clarify @nitin_gadkari

KIADB ಅನ್ನುವುದು ಬಂಡವಾಳಶಾಹಿಗಳ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ ಭೂ ಮಾಫಿಯ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ. ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆ ಹೆಸರಲ್ಲಿ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಕಿಲುಬು ಕಾಸಲ್ಲಿ ಪಡೆದು, ರಿಯಲ್ ಎಸ್ಟೇಟ್ ದಂಧೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. 🔸ಜಿಂದಾಲ್ ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆ ಜಾಗ "ಜಿಂದಾಲ್ ಸಿಟಿ'ಯಾಗಿದೆ. 🔸ಕಿರ್ಲೊಸ್ಕರ್ ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆ ಜಾಗ "ಬ್ರಿಗೇಡ್ ಮಿಲ್ಲೆನಿಯಂ" ಆಗಿದೆ. 🔸ಎಲ್ ಅಂಡ್ ಟಿ ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆ ಜಾಗ ವಿಲ್ಲಾಗಳಾಗಿವೆ. 🔸ಅಮೃತ್ ಡಿಸ್ಟಿಲರಿ ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆ ಜಾಗ ಮ್ಯಾರೀಗೋಲ್ಡ್ ಇಂಟರ್ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್ ಸ್ಕೂಲ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. 🔸ಮಿನರ್ವ ಮಿಲ್ ಜಾಗ ಲುಲು ಮಾಲ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಈಗ ದೇವನಹಳ್ಳಿಯ ರೈತರ ಫಲವತ್ತಾದ ಜಮೀನನ್ನು ಹಾಫ್ ರೇಟ್ ಚೀಪ್ ರೇಟ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಖರೀದಿಸಿ ಇವರಿಗೆ ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆಗೆ ಅಂತ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ರಿಯಲ್ ಎಸ್ಟೇಟ್ ದಂಧೆ ಮಾಡಕ್ಕೆ ರೆಡಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. @MBPatil

Dear @MBPatil Sir, Why did KIADB issue a tender for consultancy services to obtain environmental clearance for #SWIFTCity when there is an ongoing legal battle over land acquisition in the court? Last year, in presence of Anekal MLA Sri @MLAShivanna you had assured to the farmers (not once but twice) that you along with KIADB officers would personally visit the lands for physical inspection. But you have not fulfilled this yet. You are also misleading the public by saying that the fertile farmlands will be left out but till now no physical inspection had be done. Sir, why you and KIADB is so adamant about this particular lands if not for vested interests? Being an Industrial minister does not mean you handover the fertile farmlands to big players. I agree that Karnataka needs development, but at what cost? Your objective as an Industrial minister should be to balance industrial growth with sustainable development. However you are on a spree to acquire as much land as possible using KIADB in and around Bengaluru, and that too using some age-old KIADB land acquisition act 1966. Please understand that giving large chunks of land to big players does not mean development. Why is the government not considering a new industrial act based on the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (LARR) Act of 2013? Please consult land owners, have discussions with them and take there consent before issuing the notifications. The KIADB doesn't follow any of these, doesn't do any analysis regarding the affected families, environmental issues and acts as if the land belongs to them and farmers have to leave the land as soon as they notify. As a minister, please rectify these things. #KIADB #Sarjapura #SWIFTCity #Agriculture #Bengaluru

ಆನೇಕಲ್ ತಾಲ್ಲೂಕು ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ KIADB ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಉದ್ದೇಶಿತ ಭೂಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ವಿರೋಧಿಸಿ ಆನೇಕಲ್ ತಾಲ್ಲೂಕು ಭೂಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಸಮಿತಿ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಸರ್ಜಾಪುರ ಆಟದ ಮೈದಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಯೋಜಿಸಿದ್ದ ಬೃಹತ್ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನಾ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗಿಯಾದೆ. ರೈತರ ಆಶಯಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಫಲವತ್ತಾದ ಕೃಷಿ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಕಬಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಮುಂದಾಗಿರುವ KIADB ಭೂ ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಯನ್ನು ಕೈ ಬಿಡಲು ಒತ್ತಡ ಹೇರಲು ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತೀರ್ಮಾನಿಸಲಾಯಿತು.

Devaraju, farmer from Hosahalli of Sarjapura hobli received land acquisition notice from KIADB for tech park. Over 700 farmers from 8 villages received notices. From Hosahalli alone they send around 10 truck loads of vegetables & fruits daily to Bengaluru. newindianexpress.com/states/…
