Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 6: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is planning to include enactment of new version of Land Acquisition Act in its election manifesto which will be released here soon by the party leadership reveal sources close to the party.
The new Land Acquisition Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act (LARR) has been enforced across all the states from January 1st 2014 . The law could not be extended to J&K state in view of the article 370 and the state Government also failed to enact a similar law in the state. The new land acquisition act was made operational through a Presidential assent . The J&K Government failed to bring this bill in the budget session of State legislature which began from February 10th at Jammu early this year and ended on Feb 28th . The bill was not even tabled in the state legislature during the last session of assembly when the Government has the last chance to enact this law which is going to benefit a large amount of population living both in rural as well as urban areas of the state.
The New Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act (LARR) law has a great importance especially in Jammu & Kashmir as thousands of acres of land has been acquired by Government at many places in the state. The Congress party which is part of the coalition Government in state has also been mum over the issue in-spite of the fact that the same party at the center enacted this law.
Pertinent to mention that PDP had brought a Private Members Bill on this issue in the state legislature during last session of state legislature. PDP spokesman and MLC Naeem Akhtar had pushed the said private members bill which according to sources was send for correction by the council secretariat.
Under the new Land Acquisition Act property and land which is acquired in urban areas would be paid compensation double the market value of the said land / property etc and in rural areas where the property rates are comparatively less the compensation would be paid four times more than the extact market rate of the land / property . There are several areas in Jammu as well as in Srinagar's old city where many residential houses / shops have been dismantled recently for a road widening project. If a family in Srinagar city was paid Rs 10 lakhs as compensation for the dismantled house or shop during road widening , but if we had a new Land Acquisition Act in J&K the same family would have got Rs 20 lakhs plus job and land to construct a house as well . The new Land Acquisition law does not only guarantee high monetary compensation but it guarantees for Rehabilitation & Resettlement as well. The compensation under new Land Acquisition Act is to be paid retrospectively under this act (from 2011). But all is not going to be a reality in our state as we don't have such a law in operation. |
