Etawah, Mar 7: Comptroller and Auditor General of India has asked for documents related to
land acquisition and details of funds provided to Agra-Lucknow expressway made
in Samajwadi Party (SP) government tenure.
Additional district magistrate Jitendra Kushwaha here on
Wednesday said that Director Land Acquisition department has written to 32
district magistrates, including Etawah, to provide all details of land provided
to Agra-Lucknow express along with land acquisition details.
Farmers here in Etawah district had demanded circle rates equivalent to Saifai for their lands acquired for Lucknow-Agra expressway. Some political parties played an important role to raise the voice of farmers to get more compensation for their lands.
Yogi Adityanath government announced CAG scrutiny of land acquisitions made during Akhilesh Yadav government’s tenure following which documents related to land acquired for the expressway were summoned.
A gazette was published in 2012 acquisition of 315 hectare land from Mohabbatpur, Mainpuri to Kathautiya, Auraiya for 40 kilometre Agra-Lucknow expressway.
Lands were acquired from 116 villages for expressway but villagers from Chaubiya, Takha and Bharthana had strongly opposed against the acquisition of their lands as government provided Rs 1.29 crore per hectare compensation for lands in Saifai, while Chaubiya got Rs 8 lakh per hectare and in Bharthana Rs 11 lakh per hectare was paid while it was announced Rs 30 lakh per hectare.
Besides Agra-Lucknow expressway other projects initiated during 2012 to 2017, were under scanner and documents related to them were asked to submit. During these five years major projects initiated were Etawah-Mainpuri four lane, SSP crossing to Yamuna bridge four lane, cycle track from Etawah to Agra construction.
Kisan Sabha regional general secretary Mukut Singh Yadav said that he had started protest against land acquisition in 2012. Compensation in Safai was huge at the name of Development Authority but farmers in Chaubiya and Bharthana got nominal amount. CAG investigations will reveal the corruption and injustice made by previous government, he added. UNI
