Land acquisition out of poll code loop
The model code of conduct for the May panchayat polls will not hinder land acquisition for industry and other development projects, the state election commission said today. "Some district administrations had stopped land acquisition for industrial projects in view of the rural polls as they thought it would attract provisions of the poll code of conduct. But we have asked them to continue after examining the cases,' commission secretary S.N. Roy Choudhury said.
