India: Proposed amendments to land acquisition bill could adversely impact project affected communities

…Proposals evidently suggest major dilution in the proportion of those agreeing to sell land for the project to half, besides altogether scrapping impact assessments. There is a similar move to dilute requirements for private sector projects. If the cabinet approves such a suggestion, and thereafter the government effects change either through an ordinance or the relatively slower process of parliamentary approval, it will amount to corruption of the doctrine of eminent domain….Besides…project-targeted communities would be compelled to agree to a law drafted to protect them and is now in danger of being loaded against them….As we may rediscover, a likely outcome of dissembling would be the body count of innocents and the destruction of livelihoods. For India, it’s like the kiss of death.
