Haflong: Apprehending that they would be left in the lurch once the 150 MW Lower Kopili Hyrdro Electric Project in Dima Hasao district is commissioned, local people have demanded the state government to ensure proper compensation, rehabilitation and employment opportunities before power generation commences.
Several organisations, including Karbi Students’ Association (KSA), Sominder Karbi Amei (SKA) and Karbi Nimso Chingthur Asong (KNCA), together submitted a memorandum to Assam Power Minister Pradyut Bordoloi in this regard on Saturday.
