Imphal, May 30:
Expressing strong disapproval against the Cabinet decision to fix land value at Rs 43.27 per sq feet for residential area and Rs 10.72 per sq feet for agricultural land with respect to the State Government's initiative to acquire land for construction of NIT at Langol, the JAC for Affected Land Owners of NIT Construction has appealed to the State Government to review the Cabinet decision.
A press release issued by the JAC recalled that it submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner, Imphal West on March 28 this year for compensating affected land owners/holders at the rate of Rs 300 to Rs 500 per sq feet if the Government must build NIT at their reported Patta land.
Demanding to review the Cabinet decision on land valuation at the earliest, the JAC cautioned that extreme forms of agitation will be launched if their appeal goes unheeded.
On the other hand, the JAC has also convened a meeting of all affected land owners at Langol Kuki community hall at 7 am of June 2, conveyed the release.
