Rehab for Mihan affected people

Nagpur: The multi-modal international passenger and cargo hub at Nagpur (MIHAN) is likely to get a major boost during the winter session of the state legislature that got under way here on Monday.
Chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has said the government could propose a rehabilitation package for the project-affected persons (PAPs).
While Mr Deshmukh did not divulge the details of the rehabilitation formula, sources said the committee had recommended a monetary compensation of Rs 25 lakh per acre for land within the municipal corporation limits and Rs 15 lakh for land beyond the civic jurisdiction.
BJP state unit president Nitin Gadkari, who has also been championing MIHAN project, told ET that a lesser monetary compensation would not be accepted by farmers and middle-class investors who had purchased land on the periphery of Nagpur where the project is coming up.
