Farmers yet to receive compensation from CPCL for land acquired in Nagapattinam

The Hindu  

Farmers from three panchayats in Nagapattinam district are still waiting for compensation from Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd. for land acquired in 2020, despite repeated assurances from the authorities concerned. In early May, farmers and residents from Panangudi, Narimanam, and Gopurajapuram launched a hunger strike, demanding restoration and rehabilitation relief for 642 acres of farmland acquired by CPCL for its expansion project. A. Sakthivel, Secretary of the Petroleum Corporation Ltd. Land Acquisition Owner and Farmers Rehabilitation Welfare Association, said the price for land acquired through private negotiation was fixed at ₹5 lakh an acre while owners of land acquired under the legal process were offered significantly less. He urged the district administration to honour the commitments made in the R&R draft and ensure that all affected landowners receive the promised ₹5 lakh an acre.
