Mangalore, Aug 12: The six Koraga families, which were evicted from their land to make way for B C Road-Mangalore four-laning works have started an indefinite stir on Monday outside Girijana Upayojana Kacheri at Kottara demanding fulfillment of their demands.
Addressing the protesters, CPM Leader Vasanth Achari said that though the said Koraga families had handed over their land for the project in 2010, they are yet to receive the compensation amount.
In 2011 applications were submitted for sanctioning five cents of land each at Padau village but there has been no action from the District Administration in this regard.
“Though National ST Commission had orderd the authorities to pay house rent for the families till the sites are sanctioned, this has not been acknowledged so far,” said one of the family members.
The protesters demand the sanction of promised five cents land and also reimbursement of the house rent due to them over the last few years.
CPM Leaders Sunil Kumar Bajal among others were present.
