In 2017, after a verdict in their favour in the Supreme Court, the Meerut Development Corporation decided to start the development of 200 acres of Ganga Nagar Extension after a survey. Earlier, demanding a higher price as compensation for their land, the farmers protested and after MDC failed to yield, they moved the court. In August 1987, the farmers of Ganga Nagar were paid an amount of Rs.201 per sq. yard while other colonies got just Rs 165 per sq yard. However, after protests by Shatabdi Nagar farmers, a higher amount was paid to them in 2011. In 2015, the protests increased. So Ganga Nagar farmers too demanded the same but failed to get it. == References ==
