The Governor of Arunachal JP Rajkhowa on Tuesday clarified that he is not against construction of Greenfield airport at Hollongi and has only raised concern over irregularities in compensation claim. Rajkhowa has been facing barrage of criticism ever since a letter written by him to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking reconsideration of green field airport project and upgradation of Lilabari airport has surfaced in the media. He also added that Lilabari airport should not be upgraded at the cost of Hollongi airport project.
“I have received many complaints alleging that there are abnormalities in the compensation claim. Many power politicians and their family member allegedly own land at Hollongi airport site. Based on the complaint received from various quarters I wrote letter to Chief Minister in order to draw his attention. But he never replied which forced me to write to Prime Minister. Enquiry by CBI or any other competent agencies should be conducted to find out whether any wrongdoing has been practiced while preparing the land compensation,” said Governor while addressing the Press persons at Raj-bhawan. He also alleged that confidential letter written to PM has been leaked with ulterior motive. “I wrote the letter on 28th September 2015. But it has been leaked now. The timing of leakage of letter is matter of deep concern. I have appealed PM to investigate the matter,” said Rajkhowa.
