Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren is set to lead a demonstration in Ranchi against the proposed land acquisition for the RIMS-2 project. The administration has responded by enforcing strict security measures, including Section 144 and heavy security presence. The protest aims to highlight concerns over alleged violations of land acquisition laws, the CNT Act, and village assembly regulations. Soren plans to symbolically plough the land and plant paddy to express his opposition.
Anticipating a large gathering, authorities have implemented multiple layers of security around the protest site. The protest stems from accusations that the land acquisition process for RIMS-2 in Ranchi did not adhere to established legal and procedural requirements.
