Bengaluru farmers oppose land acquisition for second airport

Farmers along the Bengaluru-Ramanagara border are mobilizing against any potential land acquisition for a proposed second airport. The state has identified 4,655 acres in Choodahalli-Somanahalli and Kodiyala-Karenahalli for feasibility studies, though no final location has been announced. Farmers, already resisting a township project in Bidadi, vow to intensify agitation, warning that development threatens their agricultural livelihoods and food security.
