Protests break out in Hyderabad’s Shamshabad area on Saturday over fencing plans for land earmarked for a proposed high-speed bullet train hub. Farmers oppose the fencing of about 650 acres, saying they have been cultivating the land for years. Police deploy to manage the demonstration, but the protest turns tense when protesters allegedly throw stones and chilli powder at police personnel. The alleged attacks lead to detentions, according to the reports. Officials say the land parcel is government-owned and that fencing is part of the process to secure the site for the planned project. Farmers dispute the government’s claim to ownership and continue to demand that the fencing be stopped. The incident highlights ongoing land-related tensions around infrastructure development, with both sides presenting conflicting accounts on land usage and title. The situation remains under police supervision following the detentions.
