Officials will be held accountable if land requisition becomes ugly

BEIJING - The State Council has issued an urgent notice to governments at all levels urging them to set up and implement new compensation standards for land requisition before July.

The notice, which follows a string of violence triggered by forced home demolitions, requires local governments to pay heed to "reasonable" requirements of people whose homes are to be pulled down, the Xinhua News Agency's Outlook magazine reported on Monday.
