Section of SU campus affected seek more time to vacate lands

GANGTOK, 26 June: A section of the families affected by the Sikkim University campus land acquisition in Yangyang in South Sikkim have submitted a memorandum to the office of the Chief Secretary requesting that they be allowed an extension on the time within which they are to vacate the land.
This memorandum, submitted today, follows a final reminder notice from SDM [Yangyang sub-division] served to them on 24 June to vacate the university land within 7 days from the date of issue of the notice.
A press release by this section alleges that the government has still not fulfilled its promises made before acquiring the land and the people have not received the “correct” price for their land yet and are still awaiting rehabilitation.

“We got an appointment to meet the Chief Secretary on 30 June and we hope that with the initiative of the CS the affected families will get justice,” they state.
