The state government has ruled out giving additional rehabilitation benefits to farmers who accepted compensation for their lands acquired for Karchana and Bara power projects in Allahabad district.

In recent weeks, both places witnessed agitations by farmers which have brought work to a halt. Both projects have been allotted to the Jaypee Group.

On Monday, Parliamentary Affairs minister Lalji Verma told the Assembly that the projects had been shelved for now.

“The farmers have already been provided one-and-a-half time more than the circle rate for their land and there is no proposal for any hike in the compensation,” he said.“In Karchana, of the 1,850 farmers, 1,800 had received compensation. The government will consider the hiked rate for those who are yet to get compensation,” he said. The government has followed central laws on rehabilitation.

The minister said the UP government had given a much better compensation package to farmers than offered by the Haryana government.

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour through an adjournment notice, members of the Congress and other Opposition parties wanted to know whether it will implement the agreement between the district magistrate of Allahabad and the farmers of Karchana on January 21.

The House witnessed some noisy scenes when Congress leader Pramod Tewari alleged that the state government was favouring the private company executing both projects. Rejecting the charge, Lalji Verma said: “It is too well known who is behind megascams like the 2G spectrum scam. The size of the 2G scam is bigger than even the state budget.”

On January 21, farmers had clashed with police at Karchana, demanding higher compensation and other benefits. Later, on February 5, farmers ransacked the project site office at Bara.
