H.L. Dattu said it would be “immensely helpful” for agricultural community
Some site-owners are even winding up the cattle breeding and are removing the backyard gardens to convert them into plots so that they can make some quick-money in this market.
Ahmedabad: Expressing concerns for the marginalised and small farmers in the country, the Chief Justice of India H.L. Dattu on Sunday said it would be “immensely helpful” for agricultural community if state governments could minimise acquiring and handing over farm land to corporates even as he stressed for “fair” compensation to agriculturists.
“Apart from the discussion on impact of climate change on farmers’ community, the discussion can also think of how farmers can be helped by the party in power. In my opinion, the agriculture land being acquired by state governments for the purpose of handing it over to corporate sector, if it could be minimised it could help the agricultural community to a large extent,” the CJI said.
