At the twin Greater Noida villages of Bhatta and Parsaul, farmers have been protesting the land acquisition along the Yamuna Expressway for over two weeks now. An AIDWA (All India Democratic Women’s Association delegation visited Bhatta-Parsaul villages in Greater Noida on May 19, to study the the unfortunate turn of events on May 7 that led to the deaths of two farmers (one from each village) and 2 constables of the PAC. They found that there is clear evidence of Police brutality and repression in the two villages and that the entire episode reveals that the UP government has precipitated matters in due to its adamant and highhanded approach towards land acquisition.
