MAJALTA/RAMNAGAR, Oct 20: R S Pathania, general secretary, Pradesh Youth Congress, has sought immediate finalization of land-compensation cases in Ramnagar and Majalta tehsils for their agricultural lands acquired for roads, Government buildings/transmission towers and other public structures.
While conducting a whirlwind tour of Neeli, Garh, Dhamma, Mansar villages (Majalta Tehsil) Dehari, Been, Kheen, Sunetar, Shumbh villages (Ramnagar Tehsil), Pathania said that years and years have elapsed by since acquisition of agricultural lands of farmers by the State Government but not even a penny has been received by affected families.
Making an ironical attack at the Government, Pathania stated that in cases where lands of Forests/Wildlife Deptt. or pipes of PHE Deptt. or electricity lines of PDD form part of road-alignment of roads, the said departments do not allow R & B department to use a single shovel unless compensation is deposited in their accounts.
Mr Pathania has sought immediate application/extension of path-breaking Land Acquisition Bill, “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2012” which seeks to provide just and fair compensation to farmers while ensuring that no land can be aquired forcibly.
“People sought drinking water supply in Morah Oua, Nihaal, Tral, Teda, and immediate funding of WSS Shahpur drinking water supply scheme. They also sought tractor road from Dhat to Tral and demanded opening up of Health Sub-centre at Neeli, Pathania said.
H S Bogodh is without adequate staff as it has only three teachers. Building work of P S Been is incomplete, people also sought 10 + 2 schools at Garh-Dhamma and S K Ber. They have sought Veterinary sub-centre at Garh-Dhamma and PHC at Dhamma.
