What was the land pooling policy of the government The Land Pooling Policy in Punjab was first implemented in the tenure of the Akali government in 2011. After this, Captain Amarinder Singh’s government and then the current Maan Sarkar made a change in it and took it forward. In June 2025, the Punjab Cabinet approved the new version of this policy. Under this policy, industrial, commercial and residential sectors were to be developed by acquiring land in different areas of the state. Instead of compensation amount to the landowners, commercial and residential plots were to be given in the same area in proportion to their land.
3 big things of experts on land pooling policy …
- What will happen to 65,523 acres of land: According to Manik Goyal Mahir, an expert in land affairs, the government did not clarify in the land pool policy that the notification of acquiring 65,523 acres of land will be that? How long will this land develop?
- It felt like forcible acquisition: According to Manik Goyal, the government had called this policy voluntary, but after the notification, it seemed the same as the forced acquisition due to the restrictions of house construction or loans on the ground. Due to the issue of notification, the officials were not even registering the lands of the people.
- How to fix the annual allowance: According to Manik Goyal, the government had decided to give Rs 30,000 annual allowance to the owner of the land till its development after the land acquisition. However, after the protest, it was reduced to 50 thousand rupees annually. But how did the government fix their annual allowance without survey of the land? Whereas on contract, these lands are getting up to 80 thousand rupees annually.
Now read which leader said what …
1. Wading said- Punjab will not bow down to AAP’s anti -people policies Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Wading said that when governments forget people, people remind them where the real power is. This is the victory of Punjab and Punjabis. There is a victory of people’s fight against the land pooling scam. Punjab will never bow to the anti -people policies of AAP. Just as the Akali Dal supported three black laws despite the opposition of the people, similarly you did in land pooling and finally had to retreat. The Punjabis had neither waived the Akalis nor will do the AAP.
2. Sukhbir Badal said- This was the land grab scheme Shiromani Akali Dal head Sukhbir Badal said that I salute the brave Akali workers, farmers, laborers and shopkeepers who stood up unitedly and forced Arvind Kejriwal to withdraw the land pooling scheme. This was actually a land grab scheme, through which the Aam Aadmi Party tried to expand the party across the country by taking Rs 30,000 crore from the builders of Delhi. Now we will hold the Punjab government responsible for making Punjab bankrupt, giving jobs to outsiders, destroying law and order and promoting gangsters.
3. Pargat Singh said- There is victory of farmers and people Paragat Singh, senior leader of Punjab Congress, posted a post on his social media account X and wrote- The Anti Farmer Land Pooling Policy has been officially canceled. This is the victory of the farmers and people of Punjab on the conspiracy to grab the land of the Aam Aadmi Party. From the very first day, we stood shoulder to shoulder with the farmers against this deception. Today his solidarity forced the government to bow down.
4. Punjab BJP chief said- Government wanted to rob the land of farmers Punjab BJP chief Ashwani Sharma said that this decision has been taken due to pressure from farmers and Punjabis. This can be called the victory of farmers and Punjab. He said that this government wanted to rob the land of farmers. This gang from Delhi was trying to rob the farmers of Punjab, but could not succeed due to pressure on various levels. The Bharatiya Janata Party fought at the tehsil and district level and was also preparing for further travel. This is a decision taken for fear of the government, on which the party will keep a sharp eye. Even further, BJP will stand with farmers.
