Protesting against the alleged non-payment of compensation, a group of farmers today grabbed land at an industrial area here by tilling the land with tractors.
The farmers, who were on a hunger strike from last nine days, also gave an ultimatum to the state government that if their issues were not resolved within a week, they will launch 'jail bharo andolan'.
Congress leader Ompal Tongar and Kisan Sangharsh Samiti chief Ramniwas Nagar joined the protesting farmers and attacked the state government.
Meanwhile, SDM Mahavir Prasad asked the farmers to send their representatives to talk to the administration to put an end to the row.
