Haryana Govt Prepare Draft Land Pooling Policy

The Haryana government has prepared the draft Land Pooling Policy-2017, with a view to make land-owners partners in the development process. Under this policy, the landowners will get a part of the developed land in the form of residential and commercial plots in lieu of their land contribution, a spokesman of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) said here today. He said the draft policy was a standalone policy applicable in the controlled areas of Haryana, notified by the competent authority. "This policy is aimed at procuring or assembling land required for meeting the development plan objectives in an inclusive manner, where the land-owners willingly part with their land, rather than compulsory acquisition, making them partners in the development process," the spokesman said.
