\n\tUttar Pradesh <\/a>Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath <\/a>on\n Friday promised justice to the local farmers who are unhappy with the \nmoney they are getting for the land being acquired by the state \ngovernment for the Jewar International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tAdityanath asked the district administration here to resolve the issue and submit a report on it within eight days, Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh <\/a>said.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe chief minister gave the directions after a discussion with the \nfarmers during a visit to the Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\t“I assure the farmers that they will get justice and appropriate \ncompensation for their land. I also want to tell them not to get misled \nby the opposition, he said, according to a press release issued by the \nMLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe people who are opposing this on Friday are the same people who \nnever wanted Jewar to get an airport,” the chief minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tAbout 150 farmers from eight villages in Jewar area came to the university to meet Adityanath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe ambitious project had reportedly hit a hurdle in June following \nstiff resistance from the residents of these villages, which fall under \nits phase 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tMuch of the conflict is over the categorisation of the area as urban or\n rural, which determines the amount the farmers get under the land \nacquisition law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe farmers reportedly want to be paid four times the circle rate. The \ngovernment wants them to take just double, according to an official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe chief minister said once the airport is operational, it will change\n the region’s landscape by generating employment and improve amenities \nfor the local people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tVillagers from Dayanatpur, Ranhera, Rohi, Kishorpur, Banwaripur, Siwara, Ramner and Paarohi attended the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe UP government is to spend Rs 40 billion on land acquisition for the\n airport, which was scheduled to start operations in 2022-23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tAbout 1,441 hectares of land has been identified for the first phase of the airport project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe Union Civil Aviation <\/a>Ministry had in June said the process of land acquisition was expected to be completed in two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe ministry expected that bids for the Public Private Partnership <\/a>(PPP) project would be invited by October and the foundation stone-laying ceremony held in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\tThe state’s civil aviation <\/a>department would spend Rs 15 billion, while the Noida Development Authority would provide a matching amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Greater Noida Authority <\/a>and the Yamuna Expressway <\/a>Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) would spend Rs 5 billion each, according to the plan.. – https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/article\/current-affairs\/jewar-airport-yogi-promises-fair-deal-in-land-acquisition-from-farmers-118080301433_1.html <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About 150 farmers from eight villages in Jewar area came to the university to meet Adityanath Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday promised justice to the local farmers who are unhappy with the money they are getting for the land being acquired by the state government for the Jewar International Airport.
