LA Act Repealed

I just received a letter from Land and Land Reforms Department stating that Land Acquisition Act 1894 has been repealed and that no new proposal may be given now. In its place, a new Act called Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 has come. The procedures for the New Act will be declared soon.

This marks an important crossroad for many of us.

Yesterday, I witnessed the start of two projects in New Town. One was construction of internal roads in Action Area III leading to the site of NSG. The other was a beginning of an utility buiding near Water Pumping Station in Action Area III. Two photos:

  2. Sir, the locals of Jattragachi settlement play loud music almost 24/7 - especially during the festive season. The noise is so loud it easily penetrates closed windows of flats on the other side of the canal in action area-1B. Is there any body which addresses such quality of life issues in New town ?
