The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Farmers and Dalit leaders held a protest outside the Forest Department office in Tiptur on Wednesday.
- The protesters allege the Forest Department is delaying No Objection Certificates needed by poor and Dalit farmers who lost land to the Ettinahole project.
- The farmers say the NOC is required to receive compensation and repair their land in the Yagachighatta and Bidaregudi Kaval areas.
- Local leaders also accused Range Forest Officer Madhu of repeatedly calling applicants to the office without resolving the issue.
- The delay matters because it is holding up compensation payments for farmers who have already lost their land.
What to watch next
- Whether the Forest Department issues the pending NOCs after the protest
- Any action or response regarding Range Forest Officer Madhu
- Whether further protests follow if the compensation process is not speeded up
