Forty-two farmers of Sardarpur tehsil in Dhar district are fighting hard to get compensation of Rs 2.11 crore for their lands acquired three years ago for constructing of a dam under Mukhyamantri Pey-jal Yojana, claimed
one of the affected farmers Chandar Yadav while speaking with the media persons here on Tuesday.
He stated that he has made several complaints
with officials in the administration to the Chief Minister Helpline but nothing fruitful has yet happened.
Farmers have claimed that the district collector after the completion of most of the portion of the dam has now written for the compensation and the lands were acquired three years ago.
Yadav alleged that under the influence of president of Rajgarh Nagar Palika Madhulika Taanted and her husband Suresh Taanted administration has forcefully completed the work of the dam and acquired the land.
On December 11, 2015 the district collector has
written a letter to commissioner of UAD department claiming that Municipal council is not having sufficient funds to pay the compensation and requested to sanction the same amount of compensation for providing to the farmers.
The affected farmers claimed that all the officials contacted have assured that they would get the compensation but the assurances have never converted into reality.
The land was acquired in the year 2013 but till date the affected farmers are yet to get the compensation and are forced to work as labours for their survival. The families have been adversely affected and their children are the worst affected among the affected ones.
