The flames of farmers' anger against land acquisition for SEZ and projects in neighbouring state West Bengal has reached Bhagalpur as well. Farmers of Jayatipur, site for the proposed textile park in Bhagalpur, refused to give their lands for the park fearing that they might get displaced after land acquisition.
In a meeting called by the SDM Dhananjay Thakur on Sunday to discuss the issue with the farmers and businessmen, the farmers declined to accept the government formula to acquire land as they didnt have much land. They would go to any extent to protect their lands if any attempts are made to acquire land forcibly from them.
After the refusal, the SDM has asked his subordinates to talk to farmers to solve the matter.
