Farmers refuse to part with land in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad: In the wake of ongoing agitation
over the acquisition of farmers` land in Greater Noida and
Agra, farmers in Mahrauli village of the district have refused
to part with their property.

Farmers under leadership of Jitender Nagar held a
panchayat in Mahrauli and went on door to door campaign to
mobilise support and asked them to get back the acquired land.

"Land acquisition law needs to be scrapped soon and
Parliament must act for the reform in the law," said Nagar.

BJP leader Rajnath Singh has also said that he will raise
the land acquisition issue in Parliament, and UP government
should avoid further acquisition of land so that unnecessary
blood shed can be avoided, Nagar said.
