JAIPUR: The Jaipur Development Authority's (JDA) dream to launch its biggest housing scheme at Ninder fall flats as the authorities are facing problems in acquiring land, a majority of whom are private landowners.
In December 2010, the JDA had proposed this scheme on 1,100 bighas of land at Ninder on Sikar Road for which the authority had to acquire 900 bighas from the private owners. The government has allotted around 200 bighas for the scheme. An official said after issuing section 4(1) of Land Acquisition Act-1894, around 400 objections have been raised against the acquisition of land for the scheme.
A JDA source said it will be very difficult for the authorities to acquire land from the owners as many of them have protested and denied giving their land. However, Durga Joshi, land acquisition officer with the JDA said, "The JDA is trying to resolve the objection amiably." The source said it is impossible to launch the scheme on time as there is the land of private colonizers and they might take the matter to court.

The authorities had announced to launch the scheme by January 2011. It was proposed that the scheme will have 10,000 houses and it is 20 km away from Ajmeri Gate. After the failure of Prithviraj Nagar housing scheme which was drafted for 1,200 bighas, this housing scheme was the second-biggest.

An official said the JDA made a mistake by launching such a big colony on a private land. People are unwilling to give their land for developing the colony. The government had tried to experiment launching a big housing project acquiring private land for the first time, which seems to be a failure. Sources said seeing the protests in other states like Noida, the Rajasthan government is taking the land acquisition matter sensitively.
