Keeping in mind the current situation and future needs, changes are being made in the law.
What was said in the proposal sent to the cabinet for approval?
According to a report, the proposal sent to the cabinet for approval states that if some part of the acquired land is not used for 5 years, the government will return it to the owners. It also states that neither the highway authority nor the land owner will be able to raise any objection to the amount after three months of the announcement of the compensation amount.
Special portal for land acquisition
According to the report, comments on amendments have been provided by several ministries including railway and civil aviation. It is also proposed that there will be a special portal for land acquisition where notices can be submitted and land can also be acquired for roadside facilities, toll plazas and offices.
No one will be able to encroach after the land acquisition notice is issued.
The Ministry of Highways has also said that no one can encroach after the government issues a notice of land acquisition. There have been many cases where landlords build houses or open shops after the first notification to get more compensation. In addition, the amount of compensation will be determined on the basis of the market value of the land on the first notification. This can block the amount arbitrarily.
