Farmers and activists have patently denounced the Centre's ordinance amending the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (LARR) Act, 2013, stating that it is bound resurrect the despotism of British era, when land was acquired forcibly without the consent of land owners...The ordinance gives the central government the right to acquire land for public purpose - essentially for five key sectors including security and defence, infrastructure, power, and affordable housing - without seeking consent of landowners. Earlier, the nod of 80% of landowners was mandatory, besides a fourfold compensation...It is nothing but dictatorship, feel farmers.
