Considering the lack of coordination and mismanagement by JAC which may bring more crisis in near future and also on the ground that payment of compensation to the affected villagers and land owners has been completed, the Village Customary Court decided to immediately dissolve the JAC in the meeting held on August 26, 2022, it added.
The release emphasised that Nungba Pei (Village Customary Court) and the villagers till date have not formed or constituted any JAC after the dissolution of the said JAC for NH 37 expansion.
Therefore, anybody still using the name of the JAC is not related to Nungba village, it further clarified.
