Broom Protest Turns Violent: Karnataka Farmers Clash With Officials Over Bengaluru Township

A proposed Greater Bengaluru Township has sparked a fierce confrontation in Karnataka, with dramatic scenes unfolding in Mandalahalli village near Bidadi. Women farmers armed with brooms confronted government officials conducting a land survey, forcing them to retreat before the protest allegedly turned violent. Police have registered serious charges against more than 20 farmers, including attempt to murder, assault on public servants and obstruction of official duty. The protesters argue that the project threatens fertile agricultural land and the livelihoods of thousands of farming families, while the government insists the township is essential for Bengaluru's future growth. As the BJP and JD(S) back the farmers and the Congress defends the project, the dispute has escalated into a major political flashpoint.
