Chief Minister Mohan Yadav convened a review meeting for the Ken-Betwa project in Khajuraho, causing alarm among officials from Panna and Chhatarpur districts. Yadav assured that the government would re-evaluate the compensation given to those who lost their lands due to the land acquisition. The government plans to conduct a survey to determine if the relief has reached the rightful beneficiaries.
The Prime Minister's Office sought feedback on the protests initiated by the displaced individuals. Yadav instructed the Panna and Chhatarpur administrators to address the concerns of the affected population by engaging with them directly.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had already met the affected people from the Ken-Betwa project. He expressed his intention to meet with the affected individuals in Chhatarpur. This meeting could potentially spark further controversy, prompting the government to resolve the affected people's issues. Public representatives' feedback to Yadav suggests a widespread sense of discontent and dissatisfaction regarding the relief and rehabilitation processes.
In response, Yadav directed the officials to conduct another survey and present a comprehensive report on the matter.
