cquisition after approval of purchase committee report
The next phase of land acquisition for the Kannur International Airport, coming up near Mattannur, is expected to begin after the approval of the report to be submitted by the district-level purchase committee (DLPC) that concluded the negotiations with landowners of 640-odd acres of land being acquired.
The negotiations held with the landowners in various sessions during the three-day DLPC meeting concluded here a few days ago, with the landowners largely responding positively to the land value finalised during the sessions.
The land value finalised during the negotiations ranged between Rs.45,000 and Rs.95,000, depending on the area where the plots identified for acquisition is located.
According to Revenue officials, the owners of land located on the side of the Mattannur-Anjarakkandy and Mattannur-Kannur roads will get the highest land value.
Consent letters
The DLPC is expected to send its report on the negotiations, including the minutes, to the Chief Secretary-headed State-level empowered committee in two weeks.
The District Collector has already urged the landowners to accept the finalised land value and submit their consent letters by September 30.
The land takeover process would begin after the empowered committee approved the value finalised by the DLPC, an official said here on Friday.
He said that the landowners would be directed to produce title documents, tax receipt and encumbrance certificates to start the acquisition procedure.
Minimum price
The official said that a major demand of the landowners was that the minimum value of the land to be acquired should be Rs.45,000 a cent, the rate fixed for acquiring land at Mattannur for developing Kinfra Park two years ago.
The negotiation was hassle-free as that demand of the landowners was accepted, he added.
An official press release here said that the landowners who would lose their houses located on plots to be acquired would be given 10 cents of land each and would be ensured that basic amenities, including road, electricity and drinking water facilities.
The value of the houses would be calculated by adding 50 per cent of the cost of the house after deducting the depreciation amount.
The house owners would be allowed to take all items after dismantling their houses.
