Likha Teji said that we are not against the development of the state , and welcoming the said airport in our land but fixation of the land compensation rate should be same as the state Government paid to land owner in case of land occupied for NDRF and Power Grid, which was Rs. 1014/- Sqmtr according to “The Right to Fair Compensation & Transparency in Land Acquisition Act. 2013”.
The highest land donor Nabam Taring who is also the Gaon Burah, said that we are living here from several generation and the land is belong to Nyishi Community , not government .
District administration has fixed the land rate of Rs. 1014 per Sqm but now government has try to reduce the compensation rate from Rs 1014 Per Sqmtrs to Rs 253.50 per sqrm by claiming the proposed land is government land. And this kinds of report is hurting the land affected people and their family members.
Further he said that if government failed to pay with rate of Rs.1014 per Sqmtrs than we are not going to give our land to government. We may even protest against the double standard of the state government in time to come.
