Mysuru: The impasse over allotment of alternate land to grow betel leaf to farmers, who had lost their land when the then City Improvement Trust Board (CITB) acquired their lands to develop Jayanagar- Thonachikoppal Layout in 1949, ended today.
Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) allotted 5 guntas of land to 85 of the 245 beneficiaries (betel leaf growers) at Sewage Farm in Vidyaranyapuram here, through a lottery system held in MCC Office with a condition that they use the land to grow betel leaves (veelyadele) only.
