The Haryana government has opted to acquire land for the Gurugram Metro project under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act, rather than buying it outright.
The Haryana government has announced that it will pursue land acquisition for the Gurugram Metro project under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
By opting for the statutory acquisition route, the state aims to ensure fair compensation and a transparent process for affected landowners.
The decision is expected to streamline the project’s progress and bring it in line with central guidelines for urban transit development.
While the move is seen as a step towards efficient infrastructure rollout, it may face scrutiny from local stakeholders concerned about the impact on their properties.
