The land is said to have belonged to certain Honnaih Moily. As per the land value the company had to pay a compensation of Rs 45 lac to the family members of Moily, but no such measure was taken. But the officials of the company along with KIADB and police arrived at the spot to fence the land without any prior notice and asked the residents to vacate the place, which prompted the villagers to send them back forcibly, sources added.
Local leaders and police intervened when the situation became worse and assured that the matter would be dealt with without any bias.
