Why do they have to announce such serious and crucial things?

because we are a democracy and we are part of one which is more transparent than others, like it or not!!

Its a huge base. I don't think its wise to let people go close to the base and especially let them take photographs for security reasons.

Can someone explain to me what this news actually means as there is no text to go with the pics and the pics are of old/retired IN inventory. Does this news refer to N-Subs/N-ACC/N-Missiles (Sub launched)? What?

Buddy, please don't doubt patriotism of people of karwar. Please try to read other side of story. These people have given their land for Kaiga power plant and construction of several dams for the kali river.


Compensation still a mirage for Seabird displaced
Five years after work on the naval base, INS Kadamba, was completed as part of the first phase of the Seabird project in the taluk, compensation is yet to be disbursed among those displaced by the project.

The foundation-stone for the project was laid on October 24, 1986. An area of 11,000 acres was acquired on the 26-km-long coastline of Karwar and Ankola taluks.

The Defence Ministry agreed for preparing a project to provide facilities for the displaced.
The defence estate officer fixed a meagre Rs 150 for each gunta of land acquired, without taking into account the produce from the farms and also their location along National Highway -17.

People in Baitakhol, Aligadda, Binaga, Araga, Sankrubhaga, Kodara, Chendia, Post Chendia, Amadalli and Mudaga in Karwar taluk, as also those in Belekeri and Haravada in Ankola taluk, held a protest against their lands being acquired for pittance.

Police force was used to evict the people. When they held a protest for months on end in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office, the State government came out with an assurance to address their grievances. But when the promise was not kept, they petitioned the court.

Rs 5,000 per gunta

The Karwar additional civil court (senior division) fixed a compensation of Rs 5,000 per gunta, following a petition by Geetha Naika. Naika filed an appeal in the High Court seeking more compensation. The court fixed Rs 12,000 as compensation per gunta. The defence estate officer appealed against the HC order in the Supreme Court. But the apex court upheld the High Court order. Other than Naika’s petition, there are 325 other cases pending in the court.

Compensation

“The defence estate officer is unnecessarily filing appeals in the court. If compensation similar to the Geetha Naika case is paid in other cases also, then the burden on the government will come down. Else, it may have to pay double the amount,” said K R Desai, the legal advisor of the Forum of the Displaced.
