Let's be clear about one thing at the very onset: land needs to be unlocked for development. The country needs more and more industries, roads, electrification, railway lines, hospitals, schools, colleges, affordable housing and so forth to come up. Quickly. Of course, the land acquisition process should be a transparent, simple and fair affair. And, those dispossessed of land should get a fair deal and become participants in development. Is the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation And Resettlement (Amendment) Bill, 2015, the best way of going about it? Not really.
