Aizawl, Aug 5 NNN : Due to the demand of huge compensation the construction of the Bairabi-Sairang Railway line will not be able to complete within the set time.
\nIt was planned to complete by 2014.
\nMizoram Chief Minister who is also the president of Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Lalthanhawla said, \u201cAlthough it is has been planned, it is very unlikely that the construction of Bairabi-Sairang Railway be completed by 2014.\u201d
\n \u201cBecause of the selfish people who expect huge compensation, there is problem in executing the work, and accordingly the time for completion seems very much to be delayed\u201d, the Chief Minister said.
\nIn his speech at MPCC political session at Congress Bhavan yesterday, Lalthanhawla rapped the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) party, saying that, the distribution of small quantity of charcoal by MNF youths amidst gas crisis was but bringing dishonour to their leaders. \u201cThey (MNF youths) thought that they put shame on the Congress government, but they actually brought shame and dishonour upon their leaders\u201d Lalthanhawla said.
\nLalthanhawla also said that, most number of actions against government workers have been taken under the Congress government. \u201cThis shows that the Congress Ministry is free from corruption, and therefore dares to punish the corrupt, which is a matter to be proud of,\u201d the chief minister added.
\nRegarding the just concluded Assembly session, Lalthanhawla said the session was held in a very fair and peaceful manner. \u201cIt was an exemplary one indeed, owing to the good conduct of the members and the excellent supervision of the Speaker\u201d, Lalthanhawla added.<\/p>\n\n
