Lucknow: Farmers under the banner of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rashtrawadi) staged a massive protest in Lucknow on Tuesday, arriving on bullock carts and carrying sticks as they marched from Kaiserbagh to the District Magistrate’s office. The protesters accused the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) of seizing a cremation ground and failing to deliver compensation and rehabilitation benefits promised during land acquisition.

The farmers said their land in Ujariyaon under the Gomti Nagar scheme was acquired in 1984 at a compensation rate of 84 paise per square foot, later revised by the court to ₹4.60. Despite a 2016 court order, they allege LDA has not disbursed full payments, citing lack of funds.
