The National
Centre for Land Governance (NCLG), a Central Government initiative under the
Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances, has submitted to
the state government draft rules for the newly introduced Land Acquisition Act.
Though the Centre had introduced the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act in January, the state government had not
yet framed the Rules that had led to many issues related to land acquisition
for many of the development projects.
The NCLG
submitted the draft Rules to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Revenue secretary
Satyajeeth Rajan on Wednesday. In the rules framed, the focus has been given to
social impact assessment study and social impact management plans, sources
said. The Rules contain rehabilitation package to the land owners, price
fixation of lands, acquisition procedures and a lot more, they said.
