Group forming landowners association
A group of about 15 people from Liberty, Fearing and Salem townships is working to form a landowners association with hopes of getting a fair deal when leasing their properties to oil and gas drilling companies.
Farmers and activists affiliated to different social organizations joined hands on Thursday to oppose land acquisition by the government for the proposed Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor, under which 10,000 hectares land would be acquired for setting up four mega industrial projects in the district.
