SHILLONG, FEB 13: Deputy Chief Minister in-charge PWD (Roads) Prestone Tynsong on Tuesday informed that the alignment of the Pynursla Bypass has been finalised.
Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said that allegations made in an affidavit filed before the Meghalaya High Court that the alignment for the bypass could not be finalised due to objections raised by local people is wrong.
“I think that is wrong (affidavit filed before the Court). Of late because we involved all the local headmen, all the executive members of the localities, even the land owners, we have involved everybody and we went to the spot not only taking a decision from a community hall or from a place where all of us we are just sitting but due inspection was conducted in presence of local authority and in presence of the SDO Civil, ADM incharge Revenue, NHIDCL representatives and engineers from State PWD and finalisation has ultimately has happened as far as alignment as Pynursla Bypass is concerned,” he said.
He said that the land owners had agreed and the final alignment done by the PWD and NHIDCL has been submitted to the Ministry of Road Transport and headquarter of NHIDCL.
“And recently when I was in Delhi I had a detailed meeting with all the concerned officials and I am sure very soon we will be able to get the sanction,” he said.
