Corruption won’t be tolerated: Arunachal CM on Sarli-Lada compensation scam

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has assured strict action against those involved in the alleged compensation disbursement scam linked to the Sarli–Lada stretch of the Frontier Highway project in East Kameng district.

Speaking on the issue, CM Khandu said that the state government has already constituted a High-Level Committee to probe the matter, which has submitted its preliminary report. 

“At the initial stage itself, we directed the committee to suspend all officials found involved in this scam. The suspension orders will be issued within a day or two,” Khandu stated.

Reiterating his government’s zero-tolerance policy toward corruption, the Chief Minister said, “Our government is transparent and inclusive, and corruption at any level will not be tolerated. There were several complaints regarding land compensation in that particular section, which is why we ordered a thorough investigation. Anyone found guilty will face strict action as per the law.”
