Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday assured a farmers’ delegation that he would soon meet the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways to raise their demand for further revision in compensation against land acquired by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under the ‘Bharatmala Pariyojana’.
The Chief Minister, during his meeting with the Road Kisan Sangharsh Committee delegation led by its president Sukhdev Singh Dhillon, which was facilitated by Kapurthala MLA Rana Gurjit Singh, directed the Principal Secretary to seek early appointment with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. He stressed the need to resolve the issue on priority to the satisfaction of farmers, who are protesting for the past several months.
