HUDA may give 50% land to owner
Chandigarh, June 14 Sources said the new scheme would be based on the concept of partnership. Though the exact contours of the scheme are yet to be worked out, Hooda is of the view that landowners should be given a share in the land developed by HUDA. As per the broad outline of the scheme, HUDA would give 50 per cent share to the landowner in the land developed by it in lieu of cash compensation. To enable the owners to tide over the period till their land is developed, they would be given some cash also, adjustable against the price of developed plots. The owners would be at liberty to sell back the plots to HUDA at the rate it would charge from the allottees. It is yet to be decided if the owners would be entitled to retain a part of the developed land they would get from HUDA or they would have to sell back the entire developed land to the agency. The Chief Minister has thought of this scheme because almost all land acquisition proceedings are currently delayed by litigation. HUDA is not able to develop land in a large number of cases because of stay orders. The new scheme is expected to cut down litigation. The scheme is another out-of-box solution to the problems of farmers. Earlier, Hooda had launched the scheme of floor rates of land or the minimum rates at which the government would acquire land. The scheme put farmers in a bargaining position vis-a-vis private parties because they knew that even if their land was acquired by the government, they were bound to get a particular amount. Before that the government was acquiring land virtually for peanuts. Similarly, Hooda had come out with the electricity arrears waiver scheme with the purpose of cultivating the habit of paying electricity charges in defaulters, while waiving their arrears to the tune of about Rs 1,600 crore. This amount was practically unrecoverable because farmers were just not in a position to pay, and the arrears had become non-performing assets of the power utilities.

Couple held for torturing domestic help
Gurgaon, June 14 The couple was produced in a local court, which released it on bail. Sonu was allegedly trafficked from his native village in West Bengal and employed as a domestic help through a Delhi-based placement agency, to which he was reportedly sold. The boy alleged that his employers used to lock him up inside the house, thrash him and deny him proper food. “They did not allow me to talk to my family members, nor did they pay me anything,” he maintained. On Tuesday morning, Sonu managed to escape from his employer’s house and reached Vasant Vihar in New Delhi on foot. He was standing near a house there when a security guard spotted him. On being approached by the guard, the boy narrated his tale of woes. The guard called up the Delhi Police. The Vasant Vihar police got the child admitted to Safdarjung Hospital and informed the Gurgaon police. The Gurgaon police took custody of the child after he was discharged from the hospital yesterday. After reaching Gurgaon, the Gurgaon police apprised Childline of the matter. A team from Childline counselled the child and arranged for his shelter at a children’s home. The Childline Shakti Vahini team is trying to get the boy reunited with his family in West Bengal. |
