Government to review policy for acquiring mining land
May 10th, 2011 - 9:32 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, May 10 (IANS) The government Tuesday asked Coal India Limited (CIL) to review the rehabilitation and resettlement policy for acquisition of land for coal mining so that aspirations of those who give up their land are met.
“Adequate compensation and proper employment should be provided to affected persons. The policy should meet the aspirations of land losers and should provide welfare measures for long term,” said Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal here.
Taking a review meeting of government coal companies here, Jaiswal said delay in the acquisition of mining land is a major constraint in coal production.
“To overcome this, rehabilitation and resettlement policy should be more attractive and stakeholder-friendly,” he said.
