Thiruvananthapuram: The district administration has come up with a fresh offer for the people who face eviction on the Mukkola-Karode stretch during the widening of Kazhakkoottam-Karode national highway. After the district administration backtracked from the offer announced in the district level purchase committee (DLPC) meeting, the people were informed the other day that they would get around Rs 3.769 lakh per cent. The amount was finalized by considering a base price of Rs 3.32 lakh per cent and 10% solatium.
The new amount is much lower than the amount announced at the DLPC meet, which was around Rs 5.25 lakh per cent. District collector Biju Prabhakar told TOI that those who have complaints can apply for arbitration. The district collector will be the arbitrator to hear complaints against the amount fixed by special deputy collector. Though the price was finalized for three panchayats –– Kottukal, Kanjiramkulam and Thirupuram–– no decision has been taken on Chenkal and Karode panchayats.
As per the new offer, A class land (land near PWD road) will get Rs 3.769 lakh. B Class (land near panchayat roads) lands will get Rs 3.39 lakh, while C Class (interior regions) will get Rs 3.01 lakh. D Class (marshy lands) will get Rs 2.63 lakh and E class (paddy lands) will get Rs 1.809 lakh.
Action council members said that most of the people will go for arbitration to get a better deal. “We want the district administration to announce price for all panchayats together,” action council chairman V Sudhakaran said.
The people at the area are also miffed by the fact that they were being kept in dark regarding the land acquisition proceedings. “After DLPC, people believed that they could finally get money for their land. Some had borrowed money for huge interest believing that they would get the amount soon. However, the authorities haven’t informed us that the decisions of DLPC have been cancelled,” Sudhakaran said. “Unless the government announces the price for Chenkal and Karode panchayats, we will go for agitation,” he added.
The collector also said that they were yet to finalize base price for Chenkal and Karode regions.
