“Consent of landowners has been taken already after which the proposal for land acquisition was sent to the government. The proposal has been accepted. Now the survey is expected to begin in the next two weeks in the six villages for measurement of individual properties against which the compensation would be disbursed," Additional District Magistrate (Land Acquisition) Balram Singh told PTI.
The land is being acquired under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
