Ever wondered to be rich overnight! Yes the dream has come true for the Bomja villagers in Arunachal Pradesh. Almost all the households that received the payment became crorepatis in a day following the development.
This economic boom for the Bomja villagers resulted for the land acquisition in the area by the Union Ministry of Defence. The ministry has reportedly released payment worth Rs 40,80,38,400. Out of the 31 household, 29 received a land compensation of Rs 1,09,03,813.37 each, while there was one family which received Rs 2,44,97,886.79 and another that received a whopping cost of Rs 6,73,29,925.48 Crores. With this, every family in Bomja village has become a crorepati family. The payment was made by the Defence Ministry to as many as 31 households in the Bomja village as payment towards acquisition of 200.056 acres of land.
The land was acquired by the Indian Army for the purpose of installing Key Location Plan Units of Tawang Garrison. The land acquisition is part of Army’s efforts to ramp up its presence in Arunachal Pradesh, especially the western part of the state, to counter Chinese aggression. Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu said, that more such compensation in lieu of land acquisition by the Indian Army were under process and that the Central Government is working on the same.
