Nagpur: The proposed Rs13,700 crore Third Outer Ring Road project has once again encountered resistance from farmers, this time at Meta Umri village in Hingna taluka, where landowners strongly opposed the survey initiated on Thursday, alleging that the administration had failed to disclose compensation criteria despite earlier assurances.
The ambitious 148-km-long project, approved by the state govt on September 3, 2025, aims to improve connectivity around Nagpur. However, land acquisition has emerged as a contentious issue, with affected farmers demanding clarity on compensation before allowing surveys on their agricultural land. Subsequently, representatives of the Shetkari Sangharsh Samiti and Baliraja Shetkari Sanghatana from various talukas met the district collector to raise concerns over land acquisition. The farmers demanded transparency regarding land valuation, prevailing market rates and compensation payable to affected landowners before proceeding with acquisition.
