After deliberate consideration, the meeting concluded as follows: 1. Since land owners of missing plots were not aware of intended construction of NH- 06 on their land, they have not taken any photo or video document beforehand. They came to know of construction works only after works have taken off. It was also reported that there was no demand of documentary evidence of assets and crops before and after in the previous surveys done. Assessment sheet prepared by LR&S Department duly countersigned by landowners will be furnished as documentary evidence in this regard. 2. Documentary evidence of land after construction works will be provided by Abhisek Singh, Site-Engineer, NHIDCL to CALA. 3. Joint Measurement Survey (JMS) Report will be prepared by CALA Office as per assessment done by Pu Lalrinzuala, Surveyor, LR&S Department, Champhai. 4.
