Hundreds of acres of agriculture land were acquired a decade ago from Khandsa, Garoli, Mohammadpur, Harsaru and Narsighpur villages to establish a special economic zone.

The farmers complained that since nothing has been done on their land for the last 10 years, the land should be returned to them.

Rao Inderjeet Singh promised to take up the issue with Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. He said he would press Khattar to return the land to the owners.
