A hunger strike demanding subsidized land for unemployed individuals in the Bidkin and Shendra industrial areas of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor in Auric City on Monday organised by navbharat abhiyan.

The group submitted a memorandum to the Auric administration, asking for land to be provided to project-affected people at the current rates, with a 30% subsidy from the Social Justice Department.

The protest also called for discounted industrial plots ranging from 200 to 1,000 square meters for small entrepreneurs, along with long-term loans for land purchases.
