No giving up: Jakkur farmers resolve to fight for their right [1]

These farmers have lost their land twice

It’s a double whammy for these farmers. First, their fertile land was taken away by the BDA to form Arkavathy Layout. They fought a protracted legal battle to get compensation in the form of sites. The farmers are landless again because the BDA has denotified the land where their plots stood.
