dda to take a call on land acquisition bill
THERE is a land
racket bomb in Delhi, allegedly owed to none other than Kamal Nath. On
September 5, 2013 (before the DDA’s notification 2687 E), it was decided by the
Ministry of Urban Development to allow the land pooling policy where a
landowner can surrender land holdings into the central pool and be a
stakeholder in the development proposed on the land. In a way, it was a move to
take away land jurisdiction from the Delhi Development Authority. Sources
disclosed that all powerful Congress ministers and leaders of the Delhi
Government aggregated agriculture wherever it was available. Due to the change
in the master plan in Delhi, land prices skyrocketed in Dwarka, Najafgarh,
Narela and Bawana. The planners were running against time as the 2014 general
election was approaching and mandatory approvals had to be in place. According
to the reports, the Lt. Governor of Delhi cleared the file this January and
sent it to the DDA Vice Chairman. Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah
Naidu is aware of the issue. Naidu has to decide whether Delhi has to make a
move on the land pooling policy or not. Whether it is sanctioned or not,
farmers who have taken the advance are happy as they are enjoying the luxuries
of life without losing their land. The so-called farmer-friendly top Congress
leadership is jittery as billions of rupees are at stake. g
