Pakyong, 11 October : Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang (Golay) personally delivered a 50% financial compensation package to over 30 affected families residing in Zang Village, located under Tumin-Lingee constituency in the Dikchu area in vicinity of  the NHPC Damsite.

The Chief Minister revealed that the compensation amounting to Rupees 12 crore and 41 lakh had been meticulously calculated to provide assistance to these affected families. A significant milestone has been achieved as 50% of this compensation, funded by CMDG, has been distributed.
