REWARI: While Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi was singing paeans to Haryana's land acquisition policy during his much-hyped "kisan padyatra" in Uttar Pradesh, farmers in Rewari district have raised a banner of revolt against acquisition of land for setting up a housing project.
Residents of five villages adjoining Rewari town had decided against giving away their agriculture land to Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), which is planning to develop two residential sectors on their land.
HUDA estate office at Rewari has issued a notification on Wednesday for setting up sectors 20 and 21 on the land in these villages and served notices to land owners under section 4 of Land Acquisition Act.
