It's not just Maharashtra that's facing land loss in the hands of
urbanisation. Most states in India are also grappling with this
problem. In Kerala, for instance, there was a hue and cry when paddy
fields were bought by the 'Gulf-returned' Malayalees, to construct
swank bungalows. The government tightened the screws on them. Goa,
too, witnessed a similar trend, when its paddy fields gave way to
apartments, housing colonies and resorts.

In states like Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab and Tamil Nadu more
than 35 per cent people live in urban centres. But only 20 per cent of
people in Uttar Pradesh live in cities, only 14. 3 of Orissa is
urbanised and 10 per cent of Bihar lives in urban centres.
