Cabinet Set to Review UKP-III Phase Today

IO_AdminAfrica1 week ago15 Views

Speedy Summary

The karnataka State cabinet is set to discuss land compensation for Phase III of the Upper Krishna project (UKP) on Thursday.
UKP involves raising the height of Almatti Dam, requiring significant land acquisition and rehabilitation efforts.
A previous BJP government proposed ₹24 lakh per acre for irrigated lands and ₹20 lakh for dry lands. Farmers reportedly rejected this compensation.
Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar stated that while a court ruling suggested increased compensation, the Cabinet has decided not to raise it further, pending consultations wiht stakeholders including farmers, MLAs, and other leaders.
the Union Water Resources Minister has been approached to expedite land acquisition discussions.
The project requires ₹2 lakh crore to acquire 1.33 lakh acres; many affected individuals have moved to court seeking higher payouts.

Indian Opinion Analysis

The Upper Krishna Project Phase III reflects India’s continual efforts in advancing water infrastructure but highlights significant challenges around equitable land acquisition and rehabilitation processes. while such projects promise economic development and improved water management capabilities, unresolved disputes over compensation-exacerbated by legal challenges-can delay execution timelines and create mistrust among affected locals.

Given the scale of investment (₹2 lakh crore) required for acquiring 1.33 lakh acres of land, careful calibration between financial feasibility and fair treatment of displaced farmers remains crucial. Engaging all stakeholders-including federal authorities-appears essential for balancing developmental aims with social justice considerations.Such infrastructural expansions carry broader implications: ensuring lasting use of resources while minimizing conflicts around natural assets becomes imperative amid India’s rapidly urbanizing landscape.
