Suvarna Vidhana Soudha work stalled by farmers

Work at the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha site at Halga-Bastwad came to a halt as farmers protested and did not allow workers to work, they were protesting for compensation they have yet to receive for their land already acquired.

Around 40 farmers reached the site where the Soudha is being built and threatened the workers to stop the construction work. Belgaum tahsildar Bhima Nayak went to the spot and persuaded the farmers by assuring compensation "shortly".

Many farmers are yet to get the compensation for their land atRs 14.5 lakh per acre.
