| Rana expresses concern over ‘illogical’ land acquisition proceedings for Delhi- Jammu-Katra Expressway | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 10: Expressing anguish over acquisition proceedings of private land for creating wayside amenities / facilities along the on-going Jammu-Katra Expressway despite availability of the state land, National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana today called for review in the said anti-people policy. "The policy planners should be sensitive to public sentiment and realise that the development is integral to public welfare, not otherwise", Rana said while interacting with the locals at Khanpur in Nagrota, hoping that the Highway Authority will desist from such moves.
Rana demanded that the Expressway should be aligned in a manner that it causes least dislocation of the people and largely passes through state land. Alternate alignments and elevated corridors with least disturbance to the existing road and infrastructure should be put to use. These elevated corridors should also be aligned in a manner that the movement of traffic on the main highways is not disturbed at all.
He said the stretch Lakhanpur -Kunjwani -Sidhra -Udhampur has been recently widened and land has been acquired for the same thereby dislocating the population on the sides of the road. “Another attempt to dislocate them, who are just in the process of settling down is inhuman and unfair”, Rana said.
Sharing the concern of the residents of Khanpur area in the Nagrota Assembly Constituency, whose private lands are being acquired for creating wayside amenities and parking facilities, Rana said the move sans logic as huge chunks of the government land is available all over.
He said the indiscriminate and illogical acquisition process has generated panic among the people who have just a kanal of land which is getting threatened in the name of development.
