Landowners who provided land for Belagavi Urban Development Authority's (BUDA) Residential Project Scheme No. 61 in Kanabaragi have launched an indefinite strike, demanding the project's foundation stone be laid during the winter session. Despite a 50:50 land-sharing agreement signed in 2007, development has stalled due to legal and technical hurdles, depriving farmers of income while real estate prices surge. Frustrated by years of inaction, landowners have escalated their protests and submitted a memorandum to the Urban Development Minister. Their strike underscores the urgent need for BUDA to fulfill its promises and address the delays during the upcoming legislature session.

Their main demand is that the foundation stone for the project be laid during the upcoming winter session. In a bid to push their request forward, the landowners have submitted a memorandum to the Urban Development Minister through the Deputy Commissioner.
The issue is expected to be raised in the winter session of the legislature, as farmers have been consistently appealing to the concerned ministers for years, but their efforts have been in vain. Frustrated by the lack of progress, they have decided to escalate their protest through a prolonged strike.
BUDA had acquired the land from these farmers in 2007, yet work on the project has not commenced due to a series of legal and technical hurdles. This has led to soaring real estate prices in and around the city over the past years, while the landowners have not received any income from their property since the acquisition.
The landowners had entered into an agreement with BUDA, which promised a 50:50 land-sharing arrangement once the development was completed. However, after waiting for 17 years with no sign of progress, the farmers have now become disillusioned with the promises made by BUDA and the authorities. As a result, they are determined to continue their strike until the government finally addresses their concerns and ensures the long-delayed project moves forward.
In conclusion, the landowners' strike highlights the long-standing issues faced by farmers in Belagavi, with promises of development yet to be fulfilled. Their demand for timely action from BUDA reflects the urgency to address these delays, and the hope for a solution during the winter session remains high.
