Odisha enhances land ceiling to be acquired by industry:
The land limit has been extended by exercise of the powers conferred by the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and the Odisha Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Rules, 2016.
In both rural and urban areas, the extent of land to be acquired through direct negotiation has been doubled.
