Bokaro, Feb 2 (Inditop.com) Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren Tuesday said his government would soon come out with a favourable Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) policy which would enable industrialists get land for projects while the land owners get their dues.
He said that his government was committed to industrial development but not at the cost of displacing poor people.
“It is our duty and responsibility to encourage industrial development. We promise to provide all facilities, including land and law and order, to those wishing to set up industries in Jharkhand, while we have plans to rehabilitate displaced villages by setting up new villages and ensuring compensation to the land owners along with providing employment according to their merit,” Soren said.
“We are dedicated to development of the state and the state government is also committed to ‘well being’ of the displaced people across the state. My government would work out a solid ‘R&R policy’ shortly in the state” he told reporters here.
Soren assured that ‘Common Minimum Programme’ of his government, based on vision and policies for the development of the state, would be formulated shortly.
Asked about shifting headquarters of the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) and the Coal India Limited to Jharkhand, Soren said that first they will “analyse the political benefits and then would take a concrete decision”.
“I myself want to shift the CIL headquarters to Jharkhand,” he added.
