ITANAGAR, 25 Nov:<\/strong> The East Kameng Social Welfare & Cultural Organisation (EKSWCO) has urged Transport Commissioner and fact-finding committee chairman Saugat Biswas to immediately conduct field verification of Packages 1 and 3 under the Lada-Sarli Frontier Highway, alleging that the segment has been completely overlooked during the ongoing investigation into compensation and alignment issues.<\/p>\n In a memorandum submitted on Tuesday by EKSWCO’s ‘Lada-Sarli Arunachal Frontier Highway Scam’ issue chairman Chopa Cheda, the organisation said the fact-finding committee set up by the government 13 August, 2025, under the chairmanship of the transport commissioner, has inspected Packages 2, 4 and 5, but inexplicably skipped Package 3 despite repeated appeals from affected villagers.<\/p>\n Calling the omission a “serious lapse,” Cheda said the failure to verify the stretch has generated anxiety among beneficiaries and local stakeholders, raising questions over fairness, transparency and the credibility of the final report.<\/p>\n The organisation said that proper scrutiny of Packages 1 and 3 is crucial to ensure just compensation, prevent future disputes, and avoid a situation where the government may later be forced to reopen the case, leading to delays and administrative complications.<\/p>\n The memorandum requested the commissioner to undertake field verification within the next 2-3 days, ahead of the government’s 30 November deadline.<\/p>\n The EKSWCO said timely intervention is essential to safeguard public interest and uphold trust in the ongoing probe into alleged irregularities in the Lada-Sarli Frontier Highway compensation process.<\/p>\n It is learnt that Commissioner Biswas has assured to conduct the reverification survey in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n The fact-finding committee, which includes representatives from the Land Management, Forest, Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries and Public Works Departments, has been granted time till 30 November to submit its final report.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Cheda also informed that a meeting of EKSWCO executive members, clan-based organisations, social workers and activists, student organisations, affected beneficiaries and all other stakeholders has been fixed for 29 November to deliberate collective grievances and formulate a unified resolution to be submitted to the government for necessary action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITANAGAR, 25 Nov: The East Kameng Social Welfare & Cultural Organisation (EKSWCO) has urged Transport Commissioner and fact-finding committee chairman Saugat Biswas to immediately conduct field verification of Packages 1 and 3 under the Lada-Sarli Frontier Highway, alleging that the segment has been completely overlooked during the ongoing investigation into compensation and alignment issues.
