Capital gains tax on compulsor agricultural land acquisition

 

Hi,
 
My agricultural land was recently compusorily acquired for road widening. The land is situated outside 8kms of the municipality. However, I am not sure whether the population is less or more than 10000. Will the compensation I have received attract capital gains tax??
 
If so can I invest the proceeds is capital gain exemption bonds (under sec 54EC) using the proceeds from agriculturl land acqusition?
