ITANAGAR : The Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF), Arunachal Pradesh State Unit, on Monday demanded the immediate removal of the incumbent District Land Revenue & Settlement Officer (DLRSO), Kra-Daadi, from all duties related to the Kamle Hydel Project compensation process.

The organisation alleged serious irregularities in the preparation of the list of beneficiaries for compensation under the hydroelectric project.

It claimed that the DLRSO had allegedly included several bogus entries in the beneficiary list without the knowledge of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) and other concerned officials, while depriving genuine land-affected villagers of their rightful benefits.

Expressing concern over the alleged discrepancies, the ACF appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to conduct a thorough scrutiny of the beneficiary lists covering all land-affected areas to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries receive compensation.

The organisation also urged the concerned authorities to appoint a senior and experienced officer to oversee the compensation process, stating that such a step would help ensure transparency, fairness and accountability in the disbursement of compensation to the affected people.
