To speed up the process of land acquisition, the government has decided to take the digital route, parliament was told on Thursday.

"The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has developed a web utility/portal for processing land acquisition notifications," Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Pon Radhakrishnan said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

He added that the government has also conducted workshops in some states in preparation for operationalising the portal.
