GUWAHATI, Nov 5: With a dual focus on infrastructure expansion and cultural harmony, the district commissioner of Cachar, Mridul Yadav, has taken swift action to address two vital community needs. A high-level meeting on Monday brought together officials to accelerate land record verification and compensation for major infrastructure projects, while also ensuring meticulous preparations for the upcoming Chhath Puja festivities.
In a bid to expedite land acquisition under the Bharatmala Pariyojana, DC Yadav highlighted the importance of accurate, digitised land records to ensure transparency and efficiency in compensating landowners. This approach is particularly crucial for the Badarpur and Panchgram Bypass projects, which promise to enhance connectivity and stimulate economic growth in the region. DC Yadav emphasised that timely disbursement of compensation is not only a commitment to development but also an assurance of fairness for local communities affected by the infrastructure expansion.
