"The process of land acquisition for railway projects through the Land Acquisition Act 1989 is extremely time consuming.
"Therefore, the Railways Act of 1989 has been amended through an ordinance for expeditious acquisition of land for important railways projects," Lalu Prasad said.
"Under the amended provisions, land for notified special railway projects will be acquired by the competent authority appointed by the railway," the minister, who presented his fifth railway budget, said.
