IHello, Reddit community.
I’m reaching out to shed light on a long-standing land allotment issue that began in 2003 when the Government of Assam acquired private land for the construction of the Sarusajai Stadium.
# Timeline of Key Developments:
* 2004: The Gauhati High Court directed the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kamrup to provide alternative land.
* 2007: The DC suggested 32 bighas in Numalijalah as compensation.
* 2016: The High Court directed a final decision within three months.
* 2018: The court reiterated the need for compliance, and a committee recommended the allotment of 32 bighas in Numalijalah.Despite multiple court orders, the allotment process has been continuously delayed. Shockingly, the proposed land has now been reduced from 32 bighas to 21 bighas 4 kathas 8.2 lechas, with no final decision in sight.
# Recent Court Orders:
* 24th January 2025:
* During the hearing of the ongoing case, the State Counsel requested two more weeks to obtain instructions regarding available land.
* Next hearing scheduled for 17th February 2025.
* 17th February 2025:
* The court heard arguments from the petitioner’s counsel and the Revenue Department’s Standing Counsel.
* The government stated that land identification is still ongoing and requested an extension of three more weeks.
* The next hearing is scheduled for 10th March 2025.# Why It Matters:
* The delay is affecting economic stability and community development in Assam.
* The ability to contribute to local employment and development initiatives has been significantly hampered.
* The continuous reduction in promised land raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency.# What We’re Asking For:
* Suggestions or experiences from others who have faced similar land allotment delays.
* Insights into legal or administrative remedies to expedite the process.
