Tension gripped Bahadurguda near Shamshabad on Saturday morning as HYDRAA and Revenue Department officials arrived to fence around 650 acres of land in Survey Nos. 28 and 62, identified for the proposed bullet train hub.
The farmers refused to hand over their lands, demanding clear assurances from the government before
any acquisition takes place.
HYDRAA officials reached the land acquisition site amid the ongoing protest, now in its fifth day. Police personnel detained farmers and villagers, reportedly, who were holding a peaceful sit-in. Heavy police deployment was made at the site as officials continued the fencing work.
