Mysore/Mysuru: Accusing a couple of private enterprises at Kochanahalli in the taluk of cheating farmers who had parted with their land, a delegation of farmer leaders and Trade Union leaders submitted memorandums to Deputy Commissioner Dr. Bagadi Gautham at the DC’s office here yesterday, seeking appropriate compensation and reinstatement of sacked employees of a Nanjangud Industrial Unit.
Maintaining that these enterprises had purchased 400 acres of land from over 200 farmers of Kochanahalli for the construction of a Golf course, by paying a compensation of Rs. 1.25 lakh per acre and also assuring job to one of the family members, the leaders alleged that after dropping Golf course plans citing infeasibility, the partners of the enterprises were selling the same land to KIADB at a whopping Rs. 47.5 lakh per acre.
