NOIDA, Nov. 4 -- Protesting farmers from 81 villages of Gautam Budh Nagar district on Monday deferred their week-long agitation against the Noida authority after officials sought 15 days to look into their demands and address grievances. Protesting outside the Authority's Sector 6 office since October 29, farmers had warned of launching an indefinite agitation to press for their multiple demands related to compensation for the land on which Noida has been developed. Officials said farmers agreed to suspend the protest till November 25. Noida authority's ADCEO Krishna Karunesh said "The Authority will look into genuine issues of the farmers, and then find out a solution as per the rules." The demands include permission to use residential plots for commercial purposes, transfer of their Abadi land back into the name of farmers, additional 64.7% compensation for land and allotment of 10% (of total land acquired) residential land for farmer families among others. "We met them and discussed the demands on Friday and Monday. If the Authority doesn't accept our demands till Nov 25, we will intensify our agitation," said Surendra Chauhan, leader of Bharatiya Kisan Union Manch that was protesting since the last week. The daily protest not only caused traffic mess in Sector 6 and adjoining areas, but also disrupted public work at the authority's office, said officials. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Tikait) has announced to hold a Mahapanchayat on December 22 at Zero Point of Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida to press for these demands. Rakesh Tikait, national spokesperson of the BKU (Tikait faction), during a press conference in Greater Noida, said the Yamuna authority developed the Yamuna Expressway but farmers were yet to receive the promised 64.7% hiked compensation and 10% developed plots. "We demand the dues of farmers must be paid and compensated properly. We also demand construction of service lanes along the Yamuna Expressway and free access for local farmers on the expressway upon showing their Aadhaar cards," he said....
