AI city vs farmers: Rally against Karnataka’s Bidadi project
Farmers from Karnataka's Bidadi town have been protesting for over 200 days against the state government’s 9,000-acre Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township project, citing forced acquisition of fertile farmland and alleged violations of the Land Acquisition Act. The project, branded as India’s first AI-powered “work-live-play” city, aims to decongest Bengaluru and provide land for AI industries.
