• The rally aims to oppose the proposed Bidadi Township Project, which involves the acquisition of fertile agricultural land for real estate development. Farmers in Bidadi have been protesting against the land acquisition for over 550 days.

If unresolved, the situation could escalate, potentially disrupting agricultural activities and leading to further economic and social unrest in the region.
