even i am against the land ordinance bill.

 

[piinku1]

There is nothing wrong in LARR bill and evenif it is passed land can be taken forcefully because of votebank politics.

According to some report, land acquisition from farmers is already started as ordinance is promulgated.

 

[Technoglitch]

The ordinance waters down the five-year time limit put on projects after which the land would be returned to the owner if it remained unutilised. A report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India on Special Economic Zones, tabled in Parliament in November last, found that out of 45,635 hectares of notified lands 38 per cent remained unutilised even after several years of acquisition.

In the Mukesh Ambani promoted SEZ in Navi Mumbai, no operations had taken place in 1,250 hectares of land at Dronagiri acquired in 2006. Several industrial houses had raised loans of Rs. 6,309.53 crore mortgaging leasehold government land. The ordinance is tailor-made to help these entities. But according to Jaitley, a few “oversight errors” had crept in the LARR Act and the ordinance was to ease “procedural rigours.”

The ordinance relaxes norms for land purchases for affordable housing, defence and defence manufacturing, PPP (Public – Private Partnership) projects, which include private health and educational institutions, industrial corridors and rural infrastructure. -

Such projects would neither require the mandatory consent of land owners nor social impact assessment any longer. Hundreds of farmers have committed suicide protesting such unfair acquisition. These two key provisions are central to addressing the issue of forced land acquisition and resulting impoverishment of the communities. -

You think every project can be completed in 5 years?Some projects take more time.Some are done in phases.

 

[Technoglitch]

Of course not, but unused lands go waste and barren..

 

[Ras Al Ghul]

Of course not, but unused lands go waste and barren..

Sir

There are projects which are done in phases.Like Phase 1 in 5 years Phase 2 in 7 years etc.

The farmers are getting paid anyway.

 

[Technoglitch]

Instead if that why can't the unused lands be utilized for farming?

 

[NinadG]

Reports say that almost 60 % of notified land is still lying vacant under UPA SEZ Scheme....& also the land is being used for commercial or residential purpose...
