The Gujarat
government has announced a doubling of compensation, for farmers whose
agricultural land situated in urban areas, will be acquired for the
Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor.
Gujarat’s
revenue minister Kaushik Patel, on September 27, 2018, said that the state
government had decided that the farmers having their land under Urban
Development Authorities (UDAs) or Area Development Authorities (ADAs), would
also get four times the market rate like their rural counterparts. As per the
union government’s prevailing compensation rates for land acquisition, land
owners in rural areas get four times the market rate while the same is two
times the market rate for agricultural land parcels falling in UDAs and ADAs.
“We have taken this decision, to expedite the land acquisition process for the
bullet train project. Now, villages which fall in urban regions would also be
entitled to get compensation four times the market rate” said Patel.
In addition,
the farmers would also get an additional 25 per cent ‘bonus’ on the
compensation amount, agreed by the farmers and acquiring authority, he added.
The minister said that the process, to acquire 681 hectares of land, spread
across eight districts for the project, was going on in full swing. The
Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed railway project currently faces land acquisition
hurdles in several parts of the state and farmers have also approached the
Gujarat High Court, over it.
The
Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project is being executed by the National High
Speed Rail Corporation Limited, a special purpose vehicle of the Railways and
the governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat. The 508-kilometre corridor would
require around 1,400 hectares of land in Gujarat and Maharashtra, of which
1,120 hectares is privately owned. Around 6,000 land owners will have to be
compensated.
