Kochi: The whole 123 acres of land required to be handed over to the Aligarh Muslim University in the first phase of the setting up of the regional campus in Kerala have been acquired. The acquisition became possible as the land owners last day informed their willingness to hand over the land for the road.
However, reports suggest that attempts are on to postpone the final date for the acquisition of land, which has been previously set to November 30th. The postponement is needed to complete the sketches and reports related to the registration survey of the land.
The land owners got ready for transfer of land after many talks. Around 10 land owners have now got ready to transfer 1.61 acres of land which will be used for the road facility to the campus. The officials had earlier reportedly promised the land owners by word that the registration of land would be over by today (November 30) but even the primary procedures for the same have not yet been done. No accounts have been reportedly created via treasury or banks to transfer the money of land to the owners who handed them over to the government. In short, the registration procedures of the first phase might still take 15 – 20 days to be completed.
Kerala is one of the five states where the Aligarh Muslim University decided to set up its off-campus regional centres. There were problems regarding the selection of land in the state initially but even after land was selected at Perinthalmanna, problems related to acquisition came up. Authorities have decided to acquire the total land in three phases. One hundred and twenty-three acres of land were to be acquired in the first phase which should be over by November 30. But the proceedings suggest that the first phase may not be complete by the stipulated time.
