&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of &#039;public purpose&#039;, even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also, in the case of acquisitions for &#039;public purpose&#039; for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&amp;amp;R provisions of the Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.

Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of &#039;public purpose&#039;, even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also, in the case of acquisitions for &#039;public purpose&#039; for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&amp;amp;R provisions of the Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.

Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of &#039;public purpose&#039;, even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also, in the case of acquisitions for &#039;public purpose&#039; for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&amp;amp;R provisions of the Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of &#039;public purpose&#039;, even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined,&amp;quot; Kanoria said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Also, in the case of acquisitions for &#039;public purpose&#039; for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&amp;amp;R provisions of the Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.

Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of 'public purpose', even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project,&quot; he added.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry,&quot; he added.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people,&quot; Kanoria said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined,&quot; Kanoria said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Also, in the case of acquisitions for 'public purpose' for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&amp;R provisions of the Bill.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised,&quot; he added.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.

Ficci seeks revisit of proposed Land Acquisition Bill

-PTI Industry body Ficci today said the government should relook at certain clauses of the proposed Land Acquisition Bill such as role of state governments and the entitlements for the private sector, prior to placing it before the Cabinet. Group of Ministers on Land Acquisition Bill, headed by Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar, had approved the proposed legislation with changes last month. In a letter to Pawar, Ficci President R V Kanoria said state governments should also help in land acquisition for the private sector other than public purpose projects. In a densely populated country like India, states must necessarily have a facilitating role in land acquisition for the industry as in some cases where large pieces of land are required there may be a problem for a marginal number who hold out, he said. "However, as we understand the Bill totally rules out the possibility of land acquisition for private sector, except in case of 'public purpose', even if private sector has purchased majority of the land needed for the project," he added. He said in case of large projects like steel and cement there is going to be a problem for private sector in the last mile purchase. "In such cases, if the government does not facilitate acquisition then in all possibility the projects may not take off. Hence, in those cases where 75 per cent of the land has been purchased, the Bill could provide for acquisition by private sector if requested by industry," he added. Kanoria also said the consent requirement for land acquisition should not be more than two-thirds of the land owners as against the proposed 80 per cent. "I must say that the definition of project affected families is too wide and it would be practically difficult to identify them and attain the consent of project affected people," Kanoria said. He further said the issue of acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land should be re-examined since states falling in Indo-Gangetic plains like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have significant portion of area falling under irrigated agriculture land. The Bill has proposed that irrigated multi-cropped land can be acquired only under exceptional circumstances. "Such a clause in itself is subject to varying interpretations and is ambiguous. Such restrictions on the use of agricultural land for industrial use would further increase the inter-state and intra-state imbalances. This issue needs to be re-examined," Kanoria said. He added that land prices determined by market forces and agreed between the buyer and seller must be kept outside the rehabilitation and resettlement provisions. Also, in the case of acquisitions for 'public purpose' for the private sector, Kanoria said there is not much change from the original R&R provisions of the Bill. The Ficci president said this would put a burden arising out of higher costs and administrative requirements. "These are some of the critical suggestions which we feel need to be taken into account before any legislation is finalised," he added. The bill is expected to be introduced in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.
