Aizawl, August 12, 2025: Four landowners from Sairanga have alleged that despite their lands being acquired for railway expansion, one of them has not received even a single rupee in compensation. Speaking at a press interaction at the Aizawl Press Club today, the landowners said that if they do not receive payment by August, they will reclaim their lands and block railway line.
The landowners claimed that Indian Railways authorities had already disbursed the compensation amount to the state authorities, but the funds have not yet reached them. They urged officials to expedite the payment process without further delay.

One of the affected owners, Pu T. Remlalnghaka, stated that the railway construction had cut through his land, yet he had received no compensation to date. He added that surveys and spot verifications had been completed long ago, but the delay has caused them prolonged hardship.
They further revealed that ten other beneficiaries are yet to receive the full amount due to them, calling on the authorities to ensure complete and timely disbursement.
