SHILLONG: The KSU Mawryngkneng circle on Monday issued a one-month deadline to the Government to pay the compensation to those farmers who have lost their land due to the ongoing construction of the two-lane Shillong Bye-Pass, even as it threatened to resort to agitation if their demand was not fulfilled.
The development comes a day after the government informed that there would be more delay in payment of compensation since the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is yet to approve the latest assessment report submitted by the East Khasi Hills district administration.
The KSU also alleged that due to the construction of the Shillong Bye-pass, the water canals leading to the paddy fields have been destroyed thereby leaving many fields without water.
