Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

ITANAGAR, Aug 12 - Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Takam Sanjoy has served a 10-day ultimatum to the State Government to grant justice to all victims of the Trans-Arunachal Highway (TAH) compensation payment scam.

�Our party has submitted a memorandum to the State Governor and Chief Minister mentioning about the ultimatum served on Thursday to take follow up actions,� Sanjoy told reporters here.

If justice is not granted within the given deadline, Congress will be forced to launch a series of movement till the goal is achieved, he said. He alleged that a huge amount as compensation had been given to people without land, while land owners were given a paltry sum.

The APCC has reiterated its demand to hand over the case to CBI as the Special Investigation Cell (SIC) of the State Police is �not competent� to probe the scam involving Rs 246 crore, he said. � PTI
