Converting cultivating fields to residential area!!!!!

There is big growth of residential area. The colonizers go on acquiring land from farmers and later developing area in residential colonies. I fear this trend will vanish fields and forests.

It is another very grim and scary prospect of losing agricultural land to make way for concrete jungles! We might be facing a severe food crisis in a few decades' time!

Yet I want to know if rules are there for converting fields to plots.
Here, it's very strict. Hectares of paddy fields are there without cultivation for more than 15 years...people waiting for some orders from government to sell them. So, I warmly welcome government since they don't change rules!!!

Ya that's why price of eatable items are increasing day by day....

Naturally when there will be no land left for forming the rates of eatables will go up. There is no way out.

Then all will start to eat them selves like animals. In future this will be the situation.

They have already started this. People are eating such things which is not even writable.

The top headline of today's Kerala newspaper is somewhat shocking.... :angry:

Those paddy fields and fresh water ponds converted to land before January 2005 (unused till now) but still under the claws of laws are to be declared land now. By this way, 1000 acres of cultivation land are to be converted to normal are, applying rules. :( :( :(

By this way, government has opened a new way prompting other paddy fields also to be filled with soil and convert them to land very soon or later. It's really heart breaking as, if it continues this way, our small greeny state will be totally converted to flats and malls.

Labour cost is so high here. That's why people are not cultivating here. If government allows such paddy fields to be converted to land area, very soon or later, remaining fields will also meet the same fate.

Many leaders are opposing this decision...both the parties. Let us hope for the best.....may Government re-consider this decision.

2 days before only, Chief minister put forward a new suggestion of selling paddy fields to farmers only. Then why does it happen so, so suddenly :blink: :huh:

if govt. allow us to convert agriculture land to residential area from where we get food, clothes etc..

one main thing is population.

At many places the place where farmers should work is been converted to Residential area.This is not fair for the farmers.

This will be big problem due to overload of population.
We can live in a hut but can not live without food.

Today also....many leaders from both the parties have come forward against this decision. Let us hope for the best.
Why Chief minister did so......only he can answer...may be he getting some benefits.
Even if it's withdrawn after a week or so, within this short period, they will get enough time and opportunity to convert many agricultural lands to residential plots, signing the papers.

I think Government should not give approve to such plots, where vegetation should be grown.

Now no news in today's newspaper about this matter. Let us wait.

This will be big problem due to overload of population.
We can live in a hut but can not live without food.

Today population become a major problem and it hinder the development of our country too.many illiterate people not a waring about it harmful effect......

If cultivation areas are given sanctions for building the plots, real estate mafia will make use of situation and they will buy more land now as long term investment. After 15-20 years they can sell it at high rate....can even build flats, villas, malls etc
