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.
