Better compensation demanded for land taken for steel plant

The KIADB is alleged to have violated the order of the High Court of Karnataka, asking it to call a meeting of farmers who have demanded that the compensation amount for the land acquired for the steel plant proposed to be set up by the Mittals at Kudathini in the taluk be raised. The High Court had stayed the acquisition of land, following a plea by a group of 30 farmers from Kudathini on May 4.
