Affected farmers denied appointment with LG in Budgam | ‘Land Acquisition for Ring Road’ | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Sept 3: Farmers affected by Srinagar Ring Road project in Budgam have alleged that they were denied meeting with Lt Governor Manoj Sinha in Budgam on Thursday in spite of the fact that 1000 families are getting affected with the Ring Road as 3800 kanals of land is being acquired by the Government for the new highway connecting Pampore with Ganderbal via Budgam. In a statement Chairman of Ring Road Land Owners Welfare Committee G A Paul said that farmers had in advance updated the district administration Budgam about facilitating their meeting with Lt Governor during his visit to Budgam but the same was denied due to unknown reasons “We had informed the officer incharge about our meeting with LG more than 10 days back, but we are unable to understand why we were denied the appointment in spite of the fact that 3800 kanals of land acquisition is the burning issue of 1000 farmer families. The farmers were aghast and wanted to protest outside DC office Budgam today but we thought it may lead to law and order problems and thus changed the programme. We seek an explanation from DC Budgam on this and appeal LG Sinha to give us a separate appointment for discussing the issue “ said G A Paul. He added that Government’s wrong policies vis a vis land acquisition is frustrating farmers and Govt must issue fresh notification for construction of Srinagar Ring Road as compensation awards approved by the Financial Commissioner are illegal as the time for making these awards has already lapsed as per section 11-B. |
