The Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Development Authority, Housing and Environment and Revenue Department in Chhattisgarh will jointly ensure allotment of land to eligible families as per a decision taken on Tuesday.
Housing and Environment Minister Mohammed Akbar chaired the meeting. Urban Administration and Development Minister Shiv Dahariya was also present.
The cabinet ministers asked the Development Authority to coordinate with the Housing and Environment and Revenue Department to ensure early allotment of land to the eligible families affected by Nava Raipur development project.
The Nava Raipur-hit farmers of 27 villages had organized a sit-in demonstration in April 2022 for more than 100 days seeking compensation and rehabilitation.
A cabinet sub-committee was formed to hold discussion with farmers but no conclusive result was achieved. The government then sought time to resolve the issue.
