Land plan schedule submitted for acquiring private lands for Phase III of link road
Tiruchi Corporation has submitted to the district administration the land plan schedule for acquiring private lands to initiate work on Phase III of the 9.9-km link road from Panjapur to Kudamuriti River. The link road will be developed along the banks of the Koraiyar and the Kudamuriti, connecting the Integrated Bus Terminus in Panjapur with several residential areas of the city. The project will be executed by Tiruchi Corporation in three packages: Panjapur to Karumandapam for 2 km at ₹81.72 crore, Woraiyur to Kudamurutti bridge for 2.150 km at ₹68 crore, and from Karumandapam to Woraiyur for 5.75 km at ₹182 crore. The entire project is expected to cost around ₹331.72 crore. Of the three phases, phase III, the road between Karumandapam to Woraiyur, requires around 20 acres of land acquisition. Earlier, only five acres of land were required for the new road. However, the civic body revised the plan to acquire additional land to construct flyovers with approach roads. Phase III will be the longest passing road along the banks of the Koraiyar and Kudamurutti rivers. Since the road passes between key areas, an additional 15 acres of private land has been acquired. The road will have two lanes, and the additional land will be utilised to develop stormwater drains and elevated roads near Kuzhumayee Amman temple. A detailed survey to measure the required land has been completed by the revenue authorities. The land plan schedule has been submitted to the district administration, and the evaluation process is underway. The civic body is considering multiple options to acquire the land, including negotiations and compensation under the Land Acquisition Act 2013. 'Funds for the project will be sourced soon, and additional funds will be required to offer compensation. Subsequently, tenders will be floated for the phase,' said a senior Corporation official. Meanwhile, work on both phase I and II has commenced and is expected to be completed within 18 months from the date of commencement of work.

On Wednesday, the farmers and Congress representatives, including Tarana MLA Mahesh Parmar, district Congress president (city) Mukesh Bhati, Congress leader Maya Rajesh Trivedi and about 200 farmers attempted to register their protest, when authorities stopped them at Char Dham temple area. The crowd questioned ADM Pratham Kaushik and ASP Nitesh Bhargava about requiring permission for deity's darshan, as the temple administration suspended protocol visits. Panch Kroshi yatra pilgrims, however, were granted access. There were reports that the authorities detained villagers and Jan Andolan Party members on Tuesday night, though some were later released. Congress had previously organised awareness campaigns in the rural areas regarding the scheme. Farmer Taularam Patel, whose family owns 300 hectares, expressed concerns about inadequate compensation and unnecessary permanent construction, noting that Simhastha saints visit briefly.

Purandar airport project: Three officers appointed for land acquisition
PUNE: The state government has finally approved the proposal sent by the Pune district administration regarding appointment of land acquisition officers for the Purandar Airport project. Accordingly, orders appointing three land acquisition officers have been published in the government gazette on Tuesday. Out of the three officers, two have been tasked with land acquisition in three villages each whereas one officer will oversee land acquisition in a single village. The gazette notification was released Tuesday by the state's department of industries, energy, labour and mining and the government has approved the proposal for appointment of land acquisition officer number 1, land acquisition officer number 3, and sub-divisional officer of Purandar taluka. A total 2,673.982 hectares of land needs to be acquired for the Purandar Airport project. This land falls within seven villages of the taluka including Vanpuri, Udachiwadi, Kumbharvalan, Ekhatpur, Munjawadi, Khanwadi and Pargaon. The responsibility for land acquisition in Vanpuri, Kumbharvalan and Udachiwadi has been assigned to Kalyan Pandhare, land acquisition officer number 1. The acquisition process in Ekhatpur, Munjawadi and Khanwadi will be overseen by Varsha Landge, sub-divisional officer of Purandar taluka. While the responsibility for Pargaon has been assigned to Sangeeta Chougule, land acquisition officer number 3. 'On behalf of the state government, orders have been issued to carry out the land acquisition process with the consent of the landowners. However, if consent is not given, the law provides for compulsory acquisition,' said Kalyan Pandhare, land acquisition officer. With officers now designated for each village, the decks have been cleared for land acquisition. Proceedings will be conducted under the Land Acquisition Act 2013. Prior to acquisition, action will be taken under section 32 (2) of the Maharashtra Industrial Development Act. This involves issuing notices via the government gazette to any individual who may have a stake or interest in the concerned lands, asking them why the land should not be acquired. Following this, joint land measurement and drone surveys will be conducted. District collector Jitendra Dudi has appealed to farmers and landowners to cooperate with the land acquisition process. After actions under section 32 (2), joint measurement activities will begin. Notices regarding this measurement will be issued to the residents of the seven villages in advance. The drone survey will then determine whether the lands are agricultural; irrigated; or contain trees, wells, buildings, or houses. This information will help determine the compensation rates for the land. The Pune district administration has already stated that landowners and farmers will be recommended for four times the market value as compensation, along with additional benefits. Meanwhile, farmers in the seven villages are eager to know how compensation rates will be determined.
