GANGTOK, 24 Dec: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] has alleged that the state government has still not finalized a concrete plan regarding the rehabilitation of families affected by the Greenfield Airport construction underway at Pakyong.
An SKM release informs that SKM party supporters and functionaries Nima Theeng, Hari Rizal, Sonam Sherpa and Kamal Adhikari visited the houses of Rapden Kazi (Yap Sanu Kazi) and Karma Bhutia (Phundu Agya), which are on the verge of collapsing due to the airport construction.
It is alleged that the two house owners have not been provided any compensation even after having submitted assessment reports of the property as directed by the administration. SDM, DC, SP, area MLA, panchayat president and members have assured that 60% of the compensation will be released by Monday, the release informs.
SKM has questioned the government’s ability to rehabilitate and compensate families affected by the airport construction when it can manage “only 60% compensation” for two such families. The release claims that 47 houses around the airport site have been affected.
It is further informed that SKM workers interacted with the DC, SDM and SP (East) and were not satisfied with the assurances given. It is further contended that Puspanjali School with more than five hundred students is also located in the vicinity of the airport construction site and the administration does not have any plan so far for the safety of the children.
