Sopore, Jun 10 : Despite passing of 13 years, government has failed to compensate the payment of land which they acquired from the land owners for construction of Botengoo-Arzansobun road in Sopore town of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
In the year 2005, Govt acquired land in Botengoo village of Sopore in Baramulla district for construction of link road which will connect Arzansobun and other villages with the town.
Scores of farmers on Monday staged a protest demonstration against government for not receiving payment yet for the land which they had provided for the link road.
Group of land owners told Kashmir Despatch that the assurance of compensation which Govt promised us in the year 2005 has not been fulfilled yet even after completing of 13 years.
However, the landlords threatened to stop the work on this link road if their payments are not reimbursed immediately. They said that there seems to be no authority that will provide us justice.
Meanwhile when contacted ADC Baramulla Mohammad Ahsan who is hadling the PMGSY section assured that he will look into the matter.
