In A First, 2 Mizoram Landowners To Get Compensation For Same Land Plots

A Mizoram government official said that the breakthrough of the long pending compensation dispute issue was achieved during a meeting between the Chief Minister and Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi last week.

For the first time, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) would provide compensation to two parties claiming the same plots of land to undertake the construction work of a four-lane highway between Vairengte and Sairang in Mizoram, officials said here on Sunday.

A Mizoram government official said that the breakthrough of the long pending compensation dispute issue was achieved during a meeting between the Chief Minister and Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi last week.

The proposed 132 km long four-lane highway between Vairengte, near the Assam border and Sairang, near Aizawl, is a very vital surface link between the Mizoram capital and the rest of the country. The double-lane highway is now connected with the National Highway-306 via Assam.
