Ha ha , nice one yes surely I will brief you about the new propositions.The new law stipulates mandatory consent of at least 70% of the affected people for acquiring land for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects and 80%for acquiring land for private companies involving projects aimed at public purpose.
Have anyone gone through the report??? The new land acquisition legislation gives a one-year time frame to other 13 related legislation, mainly Coal Mines Nationalisation Act, 1973 , National Highway Act, 1956 and Land Acquisition (mines) Act, 1885 to make necessary changes conforming to the new legislation. So there are possibilities of no more land related problems to come up and pause the development of the places!
As per the authority, land acquisition for special economic zones (SEZs) would not be covered under the new legislation as SEZ is not mentioned in the 13 related legislation. !!!These rules will lay down processes for the conduct of social impact assessement and will also provide details for obtaining the consent of affected people.
Hmm as per the recent rules, the state government can't reduce the compensation given to farmers from the levels prescribed in the central law in case of acquisition for industrial use.
Guys not only that , they have also said they will fats track the documentations. The application of the new legislation, the whole process of land acquisition and rehabilitation should not take more than 3-3.5 years in the country.
Yes after a long wait since last years,the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, came into force on Wednesday and replaced more than a century-old Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
True Mr Gupta, now the states would able to frame laws in conformity with new rules and legislation as the subject of land acquisition is listed under the concurrent list, where a central law prevails over the state’s in case of a conflict.
