Overview
- Pune district collector Jitendra Dudi met affected farmers on Monday and said the state is positive on their demands, adding that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will soon meet their delegation.
- Sarpanchs from all seven targeted villages skipped the meeting and submitted letters setting preconditions, including publishing October 31 minutes, a compliance report on higher compensation, a Government Resolution on jobs, and removal of extra land restrictions.
- Farm representatives pressed for more than the Rs 1 crore per acre offer and asked to raise the 10% allocation of developed land promised to landowners.
- Officials cite administrative progress, noting September consent from owners of 94% of the required land and a completed revenue survey across roughly 3,000 acres.
- The administration pledged transparent procedures, rehabilitation support and skill training, even as earlier protests, more than 800 objections and procedural disputes keep the project’s next steps uncertain.
