Mizoram Landowners Threaten Protest Over Rail Project Pay

Mizoram Landowners Threaten Protest Over Rail Project Pay

Some people in Mizoram who let the government use their land to build a new train track haven't gotten all the money they were promised.

They say they're owed over 14 crore rupees.

They're upset because some haven't been paid anything and others haven't received all their money.

The train company says it gave the money to the state government, who was supposed to give it to the landowners.

The government is checking to see who should get paid, and there will be another check on August 19 to sort things out.

The new train line is important because it will connect Mizoram to the rest of India's railway network.
