#YamunaExpressway homebuyers to pay more.

Those who bought land or a flat along the Yamuna Expressway will have to shell out more as the UP cabinet on Friday approved a higher rate of compensation for farmers from whom the land was originally acquired.

This comes three years after the Bhatta-Parsaul land unrest and the series of litigations that followed. Friday’s decision will mean an extra payout of Rs 6,000 crore to farmers of 77 villages from whom 8,000 hectares was acquired.
