Land owners affected by expansion of NH 37 under the aegis of NH 37 Affected Land Owners' Association organised sit-in protests at different localities on Sunday demanding payment of compensation for the land and standing properties affected by the project.
Protests were staged at Khamnam Keithel, Patsoi Part 3 and Khumbong Keithel on Sunday.
Interacting with media, association's joint secretary Thoudam Nandakishore said that the government acquired land for expansion of NH 37 in November 2021 .
However, the affected land owners are not given compensation till date, due to which they are facing various hardships in relocating their houses or in arranging a place for settlement.
