Farmers Protest Against Reliance Power" for their agricultural land

Reliance Power’s plan to set up the largest gas-fired power project in a single location in the world at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh. The Allahabad High Court quashed the Uttar Pradesh government's earlier notification for using emergency powers to buy land for the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) company’s Dadri power project, but the state government will now have to invite objections from farmers, who have the option of either returning the compensation they were paid to reclaim the land or forfeit any claim. Farmers have already given about 2,500 acres for the project. "The Collector may recover the compensation as arrears of land revenue from the tenure holders who before the Collector do not in writing indicate their no-objection with the acquisition," objections from land owners. Farmers who had protested against the land acquisition claimed victory. Land aquisition affected 1,500 farmers and their families. This land is more cultivable and fertile and cultivation is the only way of their life.
THE QUESTION IS
1.The farmers have any right in their land.
2.Who help the farmes - Government or the society.
3.Reliance action is true or false.
