India needs new land acquisition policy:
India urgently needs a new land acquisition policy as the present framework is outdated and does not adequately incorporate the interests of the owners and workers of the land procured by private firms, according to Planning Commission member Arun Maira.
New Delhi, May 18 The new land acquisition bill would facilitate economic growth and not depress investor sentiment, Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh Friday said and hoped that the legislation will be introduced during the monsoon session of parliament.
