The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Assam Amendment) Act, 2024

Civil20247 sections

This Act amends the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, specifically for the state of Assam. It updates the Fourth Schedule to include several Assam-specific laws, such as the Town and Country Planning Act and the Assam Highways Act, and modifies Section 105 to clarify that compensation and rehabilitation rules apply to these new enactments. This matters because it ensures that land acquisition for infrastructure, urban development, and transportation projects in Assam adheres to the legal standards for fair payment and resettlement, protecting the rights of landowners and affected communities.
