On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet approved an increase in the multiplication factor applicable to land acquisition in rural areas from 1.0 to 2.0. to provide farmers with compensation up to four times the market price, instead of the existing double price, with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav terming the move a “major decision in the interest of farmers”.
