Amended Land Acquisition Bill passed by Parliament


The path-breaking Land Acquisition Bill was on 5.9.2013 one step short of becoming a law with Parliament giving its approval to it.
Lok Sabha passed the amended version of the legislation, which seeks to provide fair and just compensation to farmers and to those who lose livelihood on account of acquisition.
The bill, which was earlier passed by Lok Sabha last week, went through some amendments during its passage in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
The historic legislation will now be sent to the President for his assent.
