The Special cell formed for land acquisition
Patna Metro Rail Corporation Limited has formed a special cell for land-acquisition work. The in charge of treasure will be a retired officer of the Deputy Collector level of Bihar Administrative Service. Apart from this, three surveyors, three amines and one IT assistant will also be appointed in this cell.
A letter is also being sent by Patna Metro Rail Corporation Limited to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue and Land Reforms Department and Patna DM for land acquisition for the construction of the metro so that the approval for the acquisition of land can be obtained at the earliest.
This process will be completed by the land acquisition officer of Patna district. For the land survey, two amines should be kept and work taken from them. Their remuneration will be borne by Patna Metro.
As per news in Dainik Bhaskar, the soil will be given free of cost within a radius of 5 km from the alignment of route of Metro Rail.
But the quantity of minimum soil will be 3532 tractors. It is quite impractical order and in such a case, it will attract profiteers only to collect and sell at the rate of their choice.
Sir, I urge you for change in minimum limit.
It should be 100 tractors to cater the needs of genuine candidates and thus to avoid the profiteer’s interest.
