Jharkhand govt to review land acquisition for Adani Power Plant

Ranchi, Mar 19 (UNI) The Jharkhand government has decided to review the land acquisition process for the Adani Power Plant in Santhal Pargana.
This decision was made after strong opposition and allegations of irregularities were raised in the state assembly. A committee, led by the Chief Secretary, will investigate whether the land acquisition violated the Santhal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) Act and other legal provisions.
Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi raised this issue in the assembly, claiming that there were serious irregularities in the land acquisition for the power plant. He alleged that the initial compensation was set at ₹25-26 lakh per acre, but it was later reduced to ₹3.25 lakh per acre and then revised to ₹12.5 lakh per acre. He said this was unfair to farmers and called for an impartial review.
