The Ekta Gramin Praja Vichar Manch, who are fighting for their land which the state government has proposed to acquire for NH-8 expansion in Vadodara district, has decided to intensify their protest after the concerned departments reportedly ignored their woes.

Sources said about 150 farmers from villages like Bil, Ranoli, Padamla, Vemali, Dumaad, Sama fear to lose their fertile land if the government plans to move forward with their plan to widen NH-8 into a six-lane highway.

“We have been trying to explain the government officials to try out other options instead acquiring our fertile lands for making roads. We had submitted a memorandum in September but we think it has not reached the concerned person. Now we would take action to prove our point,” said Hasmukh Bhatt who is leading the protest.

The farmers said they would go for hunger strike, fast unto death and more if they problems are not solved.

“The state government is taking us for granted. Those who are designing these roads and acquiring the lands had come to us in the initial stage and assured us that only about 2.5 metres of land would be acquired and that too if required. Now they are grabbing our land haphazardly. Many of us will lose our livelihood ,” Bhatt added.
