According to BKS, the agricultural land situated in Bhojtal Influence Zone has been brought under the ambit of restrictions. However, builders and other people are getting permission for construction.
They demanded that unnecessary expansion of BIZ-0, BIZ-1 and BIZ-2 should be stopped and the catchment area should be determined on the basis of the scientific and actual water catchment area.
If farmers suffer economic damage due to restrictions on land, then appropriate compensation should be given to them. Compensation in the form of Transferable Development Rights (TDR) will not be accepted.
