GANGTOK, 09 Mar: The affected people of Labing in West Sikkim have expressed their dissatisfaction over the delay in the distribution of land compensation for a PMGSY Road even after 3 years have passed since the project began. The people have alleged that on 03 March 2009, the PMGSY Road from Lower Labing to Upper Gerethang was dug but the affected people have not received the compensation as yet.
A press release singed by 47 persons of Labing informs that the compensation and house assessment bill has been pending with the RMDD Accounts Section since September 2011. The release further states that upon enquiring with the Senior AO at that time they were told that there was no budget and that the compensation would be released by Diwali. That was last year, but the compensation is still due.
Now, the complainants have announced that until the compensation is released they will not allow work on the road to progress. They have appealed to the Chief Minister to look into the matter and resolve it in their favour.
