NCP demands adequate compensation to farmers

Condemning the lathicharge on farmers at Nabi Nagar, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) general secretary Tariq Anwar demanded adequate compensation to the farmers over acquisition of their land for infrastructure projects to prevent repeat of the protests like the one in Bihar's Aurangabad district last week.

Talking to reporters in Patna on January 19, 2011, Anwar said the state government should ensure that the farmers got satisfactory compensation for parting away with their land for infrastructure projects in the state.
