Puttur : The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha staged a protest at Biliyoor in Perne village opposing any KPTCL HT Line Tower and Line installation works without providing compensation to the affected farmers.
The KPTCL officials and Bantwal Tahsildar too arrived at the venue of the agitation to hold talks with the agitators.
However, the talks failed and the Raitha Sangha was firm on its demand that it would not allow the tower works until the compensation issue was settled.
Later, the tahsildar Anand Naik and KPTC officials invited farmers to talk and the outcome of the same is not yet known.
The Raitha Sangha had once staged a protest in this regard about three months ago.
