The East Kameng Social Welfare Cultural Organisation (EKSWCO) has demanded the immediate suspension of Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Nigam and District Land Revenue and Settlement Officer (DLRSO) Takam Kechak following allegations of a multi-crore land compensation scam linked to the Lada-Sarli Frontier Highway project.
In a strongly worded statement issued today, EKSWCO accused the officials of serious irregularities in the land acquisition process for Packages 4 and 5 of the 126-kilometre highway, which connects East Kameng to Kurung Kumey districts. The organisation warned that the scandal could delay the strategic infrastructure project, crucial for improving connectivity and development in Arunachal Pradesh’s remote border areas.
