Karwar, September 15: Members of the Uttara Kannada district unit of Bharatiya Kisan Sangha (BKS) on Friday took out a procession here seeking a ban on cow slaughter, and implementation of the Karnataka Land Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2012.
In a memorandum submitted to the Governor through the Deputy Commissioner, BKS activists said that there were many families in the State which had encroached upon forestland.
They not only had houses but also cultivated the forestland. The Bill had provisions to regularise such encroached forestland. But the Governor had not given his assent to the Bill. This had put many forest-dwellers to hardship. The Governor should not withhold the Bill, they said.
Inkanglo Jameer, Deputy Commissioner, received the memorandum.
Sangha leaders Bhaskar Hegde, Sridhar Hebbar, Shivaram Gaonkar, and Narasimha Satoddi were present.
