Kohima, September 1 (MExN): Aggrieved landowners affected by the Kohima-Jessami 2lane road construction project Packages 2B to 5 have written to the Chief Secretary of the Government of Nagaland, urging for an administrative investigation into the alleged nexus between the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) and Thungbemo Patton, the then Nodal Officer during the compensation process.
“A careful examination of information obtained through the Right to Information (RTI) Act has revealed numerous anomalies in the compensation process, including instances where single structures were compensated twice, husband and wife were compensated for the same house, and compensation being granted for standing structures located far beyond the Right of Way (ROW),” the landowners stated.
“The aggrieved landowners have faced undue hardships since 2021 due to these irregularities,” they added.
