In Suranahalli, Karnataka, a land dispute dating back to 1996 has trapped 200 families in legal and financial limbo. Former Minister H.D. Revanna initiated a housing project on 88 acres of fertile farmland, triggering legal battles that persist today. Despite court rulings favoring the farmers, contradictory government actions and political interference have prevented resolution. A stalled road project further complicated matters, disrupting land use without compensation. The prolonged conflict has left farmers unable to sell or mortgage their land, impacting their livelihoods and financial security.
