The protester stated that they are not terrorists or Naxalites and just want their demands to get fulfilled. “We are waiting for talks with the government. The government should either call us and talk or their representatives should come and talk to us. We are sitting for talks. We will sit here and wait for the talks to see which people of the government come or take us to them. The government has to choose any of the two ways. We have come here to talk; we are not Naxalites or terrorists. We have come to talk to the government, what problem do they have in talking?” he said.
Meanwhile, the farmers from various districts of Bihar called for surrounding the Chief Minister’s residence on Monday. The farmers demanded justice in land acquisition, fair and proper compensation to the affected farmers under the NH 119 A National Greenfield Bharatmala project. Assurance related to the crops and cases registered against the farmers should be withdrawn.
The Bharatmala Pariyojana was approved by the central government in 2017. Bharatmala Pariyojana is envisaged to improve the logistics efficiency and connectivity in the country including connectivity to tribal, aspirational and Left Wing Extremist-affected districts while reducing accident on these Highways ensuring safer transportation networks.
The development of high-speed corridors will also reduce the travel time substantially between key economic centres.
