Mr Khattar said that in many cases, farmers who are compelled to sell their land at throwaway prices, will be able to sell their land to the government. This land will be used for government projects. He said that sometimes it becomes difficult to get land for good projects, keeping this in mind, it has been decided to form a land bank. In this, the farmer can propose to sell the land to the government.
