HI Sufia,
As per different sources, the government initiated land acquisition under a law which was due to be replaced the very next day. We got notices dated December 31, 2013 whereas the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 came into effect on January 1, 2014.

The Hooda government didn't even issue any newspaper advertisements while issuing Section 4 notices. Later, we learned through an RTI application that a newspaper advertisement was released on September 5, 2014

Hi ,
Some people are saying it is a good initiative taken by govt. As per govt authority, the acquisition will not be withdrawn as the process has already started. The state will develop residential sectors in this area. As far as the issue of Section 4 notices on the last day is concerned, it was legally tenable. There was nothing wrong.

Hi All,
In my point of view, the 363 acres of land are spread across four villages. CM Khattar had told the media that no land would be acquired without locals' consent. In this case, panchayats of all four villages have met twice and officially objected the acquisition attempt. Why have we received the section 6 notices now?

HI Guys,

As per local people, when they received notices under Section 6 of the old law issued on January 2, they were taken aback. The Section 6 notice is a step ahead of Section 4 notice. We met chief minister Khattar to register our protest. He gave us time, but no commitment.

@ Sufia,
The new law, the land owners said, will make them eligible for compensation of around Rs 2 crore per acre and 20% of the developed land. On the other hand, the British-era law granted nearly half of the compensation and no rights in developed land whatsoever.

Hi Sufia,
I came across this news yesterday. As per my knowledge, Govt should have thought people. Around 300 land owners were sent notices under Section 4 of the law expressing the intent to take over the land by the Hooda government under this law, just a day before the new land acquisition act came into force.

Hi All,

Yes Tushar, I was shocked when i heard about this. According to the land owners, during the assembly election campaign, many BJP leaders had promised them their party would only go ahead with the proposed acquisition under the new law, which protects their rights better.
