Gelephu-Landowners affected by planned Gelephu International Airport receive temporary relief from suspended loan payments until compensation arrives, with banks assessing applicants on a case-by-case basis. Compensation packages for airport-affected properties are being finalised, allowing deferment until landowners receive compensation. 119 households prepare for airport development, with 28 relocating. Displaced families eagerly await compensation. Landowners pressure affected families to expedite transactions due to rising prices in other dzongkhags. Residents plan to relocate to Tsirang once compensation is received. During relocation preparations, families receive monthly subsistence and rent payments.
Some families argue for financial support based on family size, while others rent houses at lower rates. Two farms requiring relocation propose government compensation after assessment. Families in Sarpang prepare for relocation due to GMC project, seeking land in other dzongkhags, despite limited GMC master plan details. Suk Bahadur Tamang and his relatives purchased dry land in Tsangkha, Dagana for the airport project, amid rising land prices in other dzongkhags. Residents fear mass relocation could further increase prices.
