BANGALORE, MARCH 28. People from villages on Sarjapura Road on staged a demonstration near the Belandur Gate on Monday and blocked the road to protest the acquisition of land by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) for forming roads to the proposed high-tech city, off Electronics City.

The protest, by people from Koodlu, Kavanahalli, Bovipalya and Kaikondanahalli in Koramangala police station limits, affected traffic on Sarjapur Road for nearly an hour.
