Govt. to take over 25,000 acres for road projects
Leaders and workers of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) staged a demonstration against the “low compensation” being given to farmers to acquire their lands for various road projects under the Bharat Mala project.
SAD members staged a protest on the Mohali-Chandigarh border after they were stopped by the police from proceeding towards Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s official residence.
SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said the Congress government had stonewalled the demand for fair compensation to more than two lakh farmers whose 25,000 acres of land were being acquired across 19 districts in the State. He said farmers were being short-changed by the Congress government, which was giving them awards ranging from ₹30 lakh to ₹70 lakh per acre for rural and urban land respectively when they should be getting ₹2 crore to ₹3 crore per acre.
