GHAZIABAD: Bhatta Parsaul in Greater Noida is still simmering after the farmers' agitation. And now the fires are slowly spreading to neighbouring Ghaziabad. The epicentre this time is Inayatpur village. The issue is the same – land acquisition for real estate. The UP government which is still struggling to douse the fires at Bhatta, has a new problem in hand.
Discontent is brewing among farmers who sold their land in 2005-2006 to a private developer at a meagre Rs 250 per square metre. They are now asking for a revised price of Rs 1,800 per square metre. And they are threatening to go on the warpath if their demands are not met.
Farmers alleged they had no option but to sell land to a private developer for setting up of the Hi-tech City – a residential township – as the state government had issued a notification for acquiring land.
The local administration is reaching out to farmers so that protests don't escalate. Farmers say they are still tilling the land sold to the private developers.
Former sarpanch of the village, Surender Nagar, said, "The builder who purchased the land from us had promised that he will give us the revised amount after taking possession of the land. But they are now backtracking. Those selling lands adjacent to our villages are getting Rs 1,800 per square metre. We have been short-changed and are demanding a fair compensation."
They allege the state government was forcing them to hit the streets instead of asking the realtors to re-negotiate the price. "The developers who bought land from us at Rs 11 lakh per acre has sold it to another developer at Rs 33 lakh per acre, even before carrying out development. So, we are entitled to the revised price," said another farmer.
SDM Ghaziabad SD Pal who met protesters at Inayatpur, said, "We have held a fresh round of negotiations with the farmers. We told them that the protest was illegal and they should end the dharna. We are open to negotiations and have asked them to meet the district magistrate and other representatives to place their demands."
Affected land owners have now decided to hold another meeting with the district magistrate on Monday. They said tension is palpable in adjoining villages of Raghunathpur, Dinanathpur, Sadiqpur Chir, Sheikhpur Kalan, Hasanpur and Arifpur. Villagers are angry with the price they got from private developers.
