Hisar, March 15
A panchayat of farmers at Prahladgarh village in Bhiwani district today opposed the installation of electricity poles for the transmission of high power lines in their fields.
The farmers alleged that the agencies erecting the electricity poles were not giving adequate compensation to the landowners. The meeting unanimously decided not to allow the agencies to install electricity poles in their fields until the affected farmers were given compensation as per the market rate.
Former sarpanch of Prahladgarh village Sube Singh said that the work to erect poles would remain suspended till a mutually agreeable compensation for the farmers was not settled.
District BKU chief Rakesh Arya said, "Several farmers have small landholdings. If electricity poles are installed in the fields of farmers having small landholdings, their produce will decrease."
