Will have to wait more for Patna Ring Road
The delay in land acquisition for the six-lane bridge to be built between Sherpur-Dighwara in Patna Ring Road construction has affected the work. For the construction of Ring Road, 151 acres of land is to be acquired in seven Maujs of Patna district. So far only 81 acres of land has been acquired. The pace of compensation distribution is slow, due to which the tenants are creating hurdles in land acquisition. The process of organizing camps in villages for distribution of compensation for the elections has also come to a standstill.
Farmers have not received compensation
According to experts, till now the ryots have received compensation for only 29 acres of land. Rs 98 crore compensation has been given among the ryots. The source said that Rs 115 crore has been allocated for compensation distribution. Since there is two acres of government land in the alignment area, the work of its transfer has to be done. In lieu of land acquisition, compensation of about Rs 188 crore is to be distributed among the tenants. The construction of Patna Ring Road is to be completed by next year. But due to delay in land acquisition, its completion is likely to take more than the scheduled time.
