Minutes of the Meeting of the State Level Committee on Calamity Relief Fund Schemes held on ** In the letter first read above, the Collector, Nagapattinam District has sent further proposals for sanction of additional funds from the Calamity Relief Fund for expediting the ongoing tsunami relief and rehabilitation works in Nagapattinam District. 2. The Collector, Nagapattinam has stated in his letter read above that the return of normalcy to the operation of mechanical vessels in Nagapattinam depends on the availability of pettis. Unlike other places Nagapattinam does not have a boat yard. A petti is a wooden box frame structure built by individual operators and used in the repair and maintenance of mechanical vessels. He has stated that their significance in the operations is due to :- (i) The damaged vessels recovered but still floating in water in port area can be brought ashore for repair works only if these pettis are available. (ii) The damaged vessels recovered and placed on the shore through cranes, after repair works are carried out, can be put in the sea through these equipments only and after repair, if the vessels are put to sea through cranes, the repair if any during the lifting and dropping process may reduce the sea worthiness of the vessel. 3. The Collector, Nagapattinam has reported that there are some operators in Nagapattinam area who were using pettis after building them on their own. About 40 such pettis were in use, each costing around 70,000/- to 75,000 rupees. The Collector has stated the pettis being frame structure have been damaged fully by the tsunami and have to be built afresh only. He has suggested that the operators may be given relief and associated linkages, in order to restore normalcy quickly.

212 Abstract Purchase of land for providing house sites through private negotiation for Tsunami affected people Delegation of powers to the District Level Negotiation Committee Orders Issued. Revenue (LA 1(1)) Department G.O. Ms. No: 75, Dated: Read again: ORDER: 1. G.O.Ms.No.885, Revenue dated G.O. Ms.No.1246, Revenue, dated From the Collector of Kannyakumari district Lr.No.G4/52698/04 dated From the SC &CLA D.O.Lr.No. M1/01172/2005, dated In the G.Os first and second read above, the Government constituted District Level Negotiation Committee and a State Level Negotiation Committee for fixing the land value for acquisition of Land through negotiations for Government Departments. According to the orders issued in the above G.O s., the District Level Committee is conferred with powers for approval of negotiated price up to Rs.20 lakhs where the land value is equal to or less than 150% of the market value or guideline value whichever is lower. The State Level Committee has been vested with the powers to approve negotiated price exceeding Rs.20 lakhs, where the land value is equal to or less than 150% of the market value or guideline value which ever is lower. When the negotiated value of the land per acre/hectare is above 150% of the market/guideline value, the Government will decide the case and issue final orders. 2.In his letter third read above, the Collector, Kannyakumari district, has stated that the Tsunami tidal waves which struck coastal villages of Kannyakumari district on have done incalculable damage to the lives and properties of the coastal inhabitants. Thousands of kacha houses have been completely washed away and extensive damages have been caused to thousands of pucca houses. The District Administration is taking earnest steps to rehabilitate the homeless fishermen. In Kannyakumari district most of the lands are highly valuable. As the lands have to be acquired in large extents, the land value will easily exceed the present ceiling of Rs.20 lakhs fixed for the District Level Negotiation Committee.. He has, therefore, requested that the powers vested with the State Level Committee and Government may be delegated to the District Level Committee so that the District Level Committee can purchase lands beyond the present ceiling of Rs.20 lakhs and 150% of guideline/ Market value to provide lands to the Tsunami GO Compilation 212

213 affected people on a warfooting. Similar requests have been received from other Collectors also. In his letter fourth read above, the Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Land Administration has recommended the above proposal of the Collector of Kannyakumari district. 3. The Government have examined the proposal of the Collector of Kannyakumari district. The relief and rehabilitation measures have to be carried out on warfooting in all the Tsunami affected areas of Tamil Nadu. The procedure to be adopted for acquisition of lands for the Rehabilitation of the Tsunami affected people must be simple and fast. The acquisition of lands under Land Acquisition Act,1894 takes an unduly long time and consequently the land does not become available in time for the public purpose for which it is required. The compensation payable under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 works out to 142% in one year, which includes 100% land value, 30% solatium and 12% additional market value per annum. There is additional expenditure towards cost of staff, publication of notification etc. besides cost involved in rehabilitation of the dispossessed people. In case court awards enhanced compensation, besides the enhanced compensation, interest also has to be paid on the excess compensation so awarded. As most of the Tsunami affected people are fishermen living by the seashore, the lands to be acquired for the construction of houses for them have to be located preferably in the coastal areas. The lands near the coast are normally highly valuable and scarce. Therefore, delegation of some more powers for the District Level Committee is imperative to purchase the lands required through private negotiation to put the rehabilitation measures on a fast track. However the Government consider that the powers so delegated should not be plenary and should have a limit. 4.The Government after careful examination consider that 200% of the market value /guideline value whichever is lower would be a reasonable limit. Accordingly the Government direct that the District Level Negotiation Committee be empowered to purchase lands through private negotiations up to a maximum of 200% of the Market value or guidelines value whichever is lower without any monitory ceiling for the Rehabilitation of the Tsunami affected people. These powers are delegated to the District Level Negotiation Committee as a special case and restricted to direct purchase of land for housing Tsunami victims alone. For all other purposes, the existing delegation of powers ordered in the G.Os first and second read above will continue. 5.This order issues with the concurrence of Finance Department vide its U.O.No.10346/Fin(Rev)/05 dated (BY ORDER OF THE GOVERNOR) N.SUNDARADEVAN, SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT.

GO. Ms. No: 326 Dated: READ: Revenue (LAI(1)) Department 1. G.O.Ms.No.2135 Revenue LAI (1) Department dated From the District Collector, Nagapattinam, Letters Rc.No / 2004 / J1 dated and From the Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration Lr.No.TRR2 / / 2005 dated ORDER: **** In the G.O. first read above orders were issued to the effect that the wet lands should not be acquired for public purposes except in unavoidable circumstances and the District Collector should satisfy himself that the acquisition of wet lands is unavoidable and prior approval of Government should be obtained in such cases. Orders were also issued by the Government from time to time that acquisition of wet lands should be avoided as far as possible. 2. The Collector of Nagapattinam district in his letters second read above has stated that while selecting the lands that are to be acquired for the construction of permanent houses to accommodate households affected by Tsunami there is every eventuality to acquire wet lands. This becomes unavoidable, since Nagapattinam District is a predominantly agricultural district and lands of other classifications are very less. He has, therefore, requested orders for exemption from obtaining prior permission of the Government to acquire wet lands for the purpose of construction of permanent shelters for the use of Tsunami affected victims. 3. The Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration in his letter third read above has stated that the proposals of the Collector, Nagapattinam district, have been examined in detail. Other Collectors may later come up with similar request once the housing policy is notified and the process of land identification starts in each district. He has, therefore, GO Compilation 227

228 recommended that the Government may issue orders exempting the Tsunami affected districts from obtaining prior permission of the Government to acquire wet lands for the purpose of construction of permanent shelters for use by Tsunami affected victims in accordance with the housing policy. While issuing exemption orders, Collectors may be instructed to exhaust all possibilities of acquiring lands other than wet lands. 4. Recently the Government issued orders delegating the powers to the District Level Negotiation Committee to purchase the lands required through private negotiation up to a maximum of 200% of the market value/guideline value whichever is less without any monetary ceiling for housing the Tsunami Victims. 5. Further, the State Level Committee for Calamity Relief Fund Schemes in their meeting held on has recommended to the Government to empower the Collectors to acquire wet lands also wherever required for reconstruction of houses without seeking the prior approval of the Government in each and every case. 6. The Government after careful examination consider that in order to put the rehabilitation measures on a fast track, exempting the Tsunami affected districts from obtaining prior permission of the Government to acquire wet lands for housing the Tsunami affected people is imperative. Accordingly, the Government direct that the Tsunami affected districts be exempted from obtaining prior permission of the Government to acquire wet lands for the purpose of construction of permanent houses for the Tsunami affected people. This exemption is given to the Tsunami affected districts as a special case for acquisition of land for housing the Tsunami Victims alone. The Collectors of Tsunami affected districts are also instructed to exhaust first all possibilities of acquiring lands other than wet lands and in unavoidable circumstances alone the wet lands shall be acquired. 7.
