SHILLONG, OCT 24: The state Cabinet on Wednesday approved the rules to regulate the rental houses of the housing department.
Housing Minister Marcuise N Marak said the government of Meghalaya has already created housing properties in every district of the state.
He however said there are no rules to regulate the renting of these housing buildings owned by the housing department (which includes the middle income group (MIG) and low income group (LIG) buildings) to government employees.
“Anybody who doesn’t pay the rent, we don’t have any rules to impose (fine) on them. We don’t have any rules based on which we can take action. Therefore, these rules (have been approved) today to regulate the rental houses of the housing department,” the minister added.
