Govt makes major changes in land bill to graner Opposition support
March 10, 2015
The Modi government has made significant changes in the
controversial Land Acquisition Bill as it seeks to garner support from
an Opposition which has opposed it as being "anti-farmer".
It moved nine amendments, including doing away with exemption to social
infrastructure projects in Public-Private Partnership mode, reports NDTV.
The original Act requires the consent of 70 per cent of farmers in the
area where land is to be acquired for Public-Private Partnership
projects.
