Tree for tree: Farmer axes sandalwood at Bengaluru’s legislators’ home to protest land acquisition
A sandalwood farmer, protesting the acquisition of his farm for a highway project, dramatically chopped down a sandalwood tree at Bengaluru's Legislators' Home. The act was a desperate plea against alleged official apathy and inadequate compensation for 22 sandalwood trees felled on his land. This follows a previous protest where he climbed a high-tension power tower.
