KOLKATA: While it all seems positive on the surface, the fact is that there is also potential for even more uncertainty in the process of land acquisition said Mayank Saksena, managing director - Kolkata & Head - Land Services, Jones Lang LaSalle India
"The idea of the Bill was to ensure that land owners get fair and timely compensation and also resettlement options. However, it would need further tweaking to ensure that there is no potential for land owners to drive up land prices in the bargain - which, in turn, would mean that the cost of the finished products also rises," he said.
