In a glaring Tehelka expose it is shockingly revealed that how systematically the govt. policies have been drafted too aid the incessant and large takeover of the agricultural land to help corporates build their land banks.
OF THE 13 Bills introduced in Parliament this winter, two critical ones included the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill and the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill 2007. The Bills were preceded by a National Rehabilitation and Resettlement policy, which was passed by the Cabinet on October 11, 2007. These legislations and policies are being touted as timely and a solution to what many call a “trouble-free” land acquisition. On the contrary, activists and NGOs fear that the ground is being set by the state to arm itself, once again, with unprecedented legal powers to aid and abet the corporate takeover of land.
