What is the need of Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, when there is so much of unallocated & unused land available ? Must read.

In India, corruption will always prevail at every level. With this truth, if the government plans a proposal/bill then only something can work. This Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill cannot prevent farmers from malpractices. Even the clause of punishing officers for any offense was added as an amendment. Land acquisition can also be done without acquiring land from farmers, like by using vacant land. Farmers land if mandatory for a project, should be compensated on latest market rates, simple. Why fool farmers in the name of jobs or other benefits which will eventually fail due to corrupt malpractices ? BJP is only trying to copy China's model where government only works for the rich (Crony capitalism). India is the only country in the world with multi democracy. What is the point if we also have to progress like China by suppressing the poor? more  

PLEASE LET US IN THE FIRST PLACE TRY TO EMPHASIZE ON THE NEEDED ARREST OF CONVERTING THE CULTIVATING LANDS TO PLENTY USELESSLY KEPT DRY YEARS TOGETHER AND STILL BY THE REAL ESTATE STALWARTS IN AND AROUND ALL THE TOWNS AND VILLAGES ONLY FOR CREATION OF BLACK MONEY BUSINESSING AND AS A SUPPORTIVE OF TAX EVADERS BESIDES CARRYTING TOWARDS THE SAFE INVESTMENT . THIS IS WHAT ALL HAVE TO THINK. LET US NOT ALLOW FURTHER TO CONVERT AND CREATE DRY IDLE LANDS IN THE WAY OF REAL ESTATE LAYOUTS WHERE NO RESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT PLANS ARE PROGRAMMED. PLEASE LET US BE SERIOUS ON THIS ISSUE ALSO WHICH IS UN-KNOWINGLY IN MULTIPLE REDUCTION OF CULTIVABLE LANDS IN AND AROUND ALL TOWNS AND CITIES. more  

Forget the past Government Sarmaji. How they acquired land is a well known fact. I am talking about future acquisitions. Rehabilitation and compensation remains untouched. Only consent clause is being altered. What is 2.5 acres of agricultural land given in place of suppose 10 acres acquired. Besides steps to stop black money generation associated with it is to be taken. No steps taken till date to curb it. The acquisition will be done by State Governments. What control measures will the Centre take in this matter. Previous Governments left everything to State. They did not even inquire whether the evictees received compensation or not. more  

SRI JAYAKRISHNAN , 1. YOUR POINT OF VIEW WILL ONLY BE OPTED BY ANY GOVERNMENT WHETHER THE PAST OR, PRESENT. BUT, AS FAR AS THE SEZ etc., INDUSTRIAL ZONES & PARKS ARE CONCERNED THAT WERE TAKEN UP BY THE EARLIER GOVERNMENTS , AS IS COGNIZENTLY EVIDENTIAL , PURPOSED FOR CREATION OF BLACK MONEY WITH SKILLED CORRUPT KNOWLEDGE. 2. THEY, SINCE FROM CONCLUDING TO REGISTER THE BULK ZONE / PARK LANDS , CONCRETED THEIR VESTED BLACK MONEY CREATION WHILE AS THE REGISTRATION OF WHOLE LANDS SHALL NOT BE MADE BY THE GOVERNMENTS SINCE IT IS THEIR DUTY TO MAKE SURE OF ALLOTMENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIBER ENTREPRENEURS. THOUGH IT APPEARS ONLY AS BLACK MONEY , IT IS INDEED THE MONEY LAUNDERING AND QUID PROKO LIKE BARTER SYSTEM FOR THEIR HIDDEN MIS-USE AND MIS-APPROPRIATION OF THE LANDS WHICH CREATES MULTIPLE CRORES ON THE SPOT PROFITS. BESIDES, THE BANKERS GIVING A DEAF EAR TO THE NEED SMALL INDUSTRIAL / BUSINESS INDENTORS ; MADE TO CONCEDE TO LAND ON SUCH MULTIPLE PRICE HIKED GOVERNMENT LANDS OF A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. THEIR LENDING ON THESE SUCH LANDS WAS NOT TO THE INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRIAL SUBSCRIBER OF A PLOT IN THAT ZONES. 3. ALL THESE ABOVE ARE DIFFERENT AND THE PRESENT LAND ACQUISITION ACT AMENDMENT BILL IS DIFFERENT IN ITS PROPOSED APPLICATION AS IS CLEARLY AND SPECIFICALLY EVIDENT FROM AMONG THE CLAUSES DRESSED FIT AND SAFE THUS AWAY FROM ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF MIS-USE. 4. HERE, IN THIS CONNECTION, SRI ROHIT IS ALSO DEEP ON MIS-UTILISATION NEVERTHLESS OF THE ABSOLUTE NEED OF THE LAND ACQUISITION RIGHT OF ANY GOVERNMENT OF ANY COUNTRY BEING WELL KNOWN. IF WE ALL TO THINK AND DISCUSS ON THE MAHARASHTRA STATE " ADARSHA HOUSING APARTMENT " WHICH WAS PRIMARILY PURPOSED FOR CERTAIN INDIAN MILITARY INDIVIDUALS THAT TOO WITH A SPECIFIC CONDITION OF ONLY A THREE STORIED CONSTRUCTION ,;; ======= IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS WILLFUL MIS-USE EVERY WHERE AND IN ANY ISSUE IF THE ISSUE IS BACKED BY ONE C. M. OR, AS IN ADARSHA HOUSING ISSUE , THREE TO FOUR C. M. CADRE BEING INVOLVED. SRI ROHIT IS TRYING FOR JUSTICE REFERRING TO EXTENSIONS AND PROJECTIONS BEING BOOKED BY MCD WHERE MORE COMMON PEOPLE ARE ALSO INVOLVED.;;; CAN WE IMAGIN THE JUSTICE TO THESE COMPARING THE PATRONAGE BLESSED TO MAHARASHTRA' ADARSHA HOUSING EPISODE ? CAN THERE BE ANY JUSTICE ANY WHERE ? LET US NOT UN-NECESSARILY PRECIPITATE THE ISSUE OF THE RIGHTFULL AUGHT TO BE SHOULDERED BY THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT UPON LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CARRY OF PROVISIONS TO THE PEOPLE STRICTLY AT THE INTEREST OF THE NATION. LET US ALTOGETHER TRY TO COLLECTIVELY ACHIEVE JUSTICE IN ALL THE EXISTING AND THAT MIGHT BE LIKE THE FINANCIAL CRIME ISSUES that are under mis-use ; mis-appropriation ; mis-allocation ; mis/ill-certifying ; cheating LIKE THAT ARE NOW ROOTING ALL OF US TO CARE FOR INDIA. more  

Dear Sarmaji, In this connection, I have the following suggestions to make. 1) At the time of land acquisition Government should see first that, do they hold any land in their possession in the locality, if so first preference to be given to that land. 2) Second preference to be given to any waste, barren, idle land in the locality. 3) Third preference to be given to benami land in the locality. 4) If none available then only acquire farmers land. 5) Equal amount of alternate agricultural land to be given to farmer. I mean not actual land or 2.5 acres whichever is lower along with compensation and resettlement amount. 6) Before acquisition starts all big denomination notes to be withdrawn from circulation permanently to prevent generation of black money.
