She said the members of the committee apprised her of land acquisition under the project Bhartmala NH205A in Derabassi and Banur.

“The transport minister listened to their demands and has promised us that he will ensure early resolution to these demands,” she said.

She added that the awards of 28 villages land falling in this project were sent to the NHAI project implementation unit Ambala by the DRO SAS Nagar on September 30, but even after seven months they haven’t received any compensation.

“The revenue authorities had printed the note on jamabandi of land acquisition due to which farmers are now unable to buy, sell, mortgage and swap these particular lands,” she said.
