Arunachal Pradesh villagers near China border forego land compensation for road construction

Residents of 10 villages in Arunachal Pradesh have decided not to claim compensation for their land for road construction.
The villages fall under the proposed 150km-long Yingkiong-Bishing two-lane highway that will boost connectivity.
Bishing village, the last Indian village closest to the McMohan Line, is home to around 100 people.
Representatives of these villages met CM Pema Khandu at Yingkiong and informed him of their decision.
According to a state govt. release, the villagers took a decision to not seek compensation so that work on the project starts early.
