Aizawl, April 26: The Kaladan
multimodal transit transport project, which envisages development of an
alternate connectivity to Mizoram through Myanmar, has invited the ire
of local landowners over failure to compensate them for their land.
Tension prevails in Mizoram’s Lawngtlai
here after the state government sent a strong contingent of police to
guard the road project today. The state decided to provide security
after the Indo-Myanmar Border Roads Land Owner’s Association imposed a
“stay” on continuing road-cutting work yesterday.
Director-general of police A.K. Verma confirmed that police deployment had been requisitioned for Lawngtlai.
