Land ceiling set to stay, Bengal govt mulls relaxation for industry

The Bengal government is contemplating a temporary exemption to the land ceiling law to encourage industrial projects. An advisor to Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari revealed that a complete repeal of this law isn't practical. Identified land parcels will be auctioned for industrial use, with proposals including compensation for landless peasants. Given the high population density, careful planning in land use remains crucial.
