The Hindu
Around 60% of the lands being acquired for the six-lane project are currently used for agricultural purposes; farmers say they were not given a choice and have not been told about the compensation they will receive
Farmers of Pallipattu, Uthukottai and Ponneri taluks in Tiruvallur are concerned over the quantum of compensation for their lands that are being taken for the proposed Chittoor-Thatchur Highway, NH -716B. Around 60% of the lands being acquired for the six-lane project are currently used for agricultural purposes, and most farmers grow three crops of paddy a year, since a network of rivers, tanks and canals provide abundant water supply to these fields.More Related News
