No Forceful acquisition of land for railway projects

  
  
The Ministry of Railways has decided that there shall not be any forceful acquisition of land for the railway projects. Accordingly, it has been decided to comprehensively review Railway’s Land Acquisition policy to ensure that forceful acquisition of land, including agriculture land, is completely avoided. The focus of this review will be to facilitate transaction/purchase/acquisition of land directly from the land owner with complete transparency.

All existing land acquisition cases shall be critically examined in the light of the above review within a period of one month.
