Jammu, Nov 29: Inderjeet Khajuria Chairman (FONL) while highlighting the basics of Roshini Act presented some obcets of the Act to be implemented in letter and spirits.
He informed that Roshni Act 2001 was brought into being by National Conference Government aiming at regularization of illegal encroachments of state land and conferring ownership rights on the illegal encroachers of state land who were in possession of the same till 1989. The Act was amended during 2004 to include into the Act the illegal encroachers of state land till 2004.
Rules were framed during 2007 and the Act was promulgated by the Governor of the state and the discussions were held in the assembly later.
Object behind the Roshni Act was to collect revenue to the tune of Rs 25000 Crores for creation of Hydel projects to generate electricity in order to electrify every house in rural villages. The proposed revenue of Rs 25000 crores was to be collected by regularizing about 25 Lac Kanals of illegally encroached state land.
Parameters for fixing rates were given to the Price Fixation Committee to evaluate the lands keeping in view a) Mapping/Notification b) Location c)Connectivity with the road d) Prevailing market rates as per registration of land in the court e) Rate at which the Govt acquires public land for public purposes in the locality. Price fixation Committee in utter disregard to the norms flouted all the norms and while sitting in office fixed exorbitant rates creating hue and cry among the masses aggrieved due to the highhandedness of the Govt.
For instance Below Gumat rates were fixed Rs 1 Crore per kanal where all facilities are available whereas upper Gumat rate was fixed Rs 1.5 crore per kanal where neither matador nor tonga operates. |
