Deputy Chief Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar on Thursday informed that the state government has filed an affidavit on the proposal to relocate the Sweepers’ Colony from Them Iew Mawlong.
Speaking to reporters, Dhar said that now the matter is left to the court to decide.
The minister said that the government will also sit in a few days and take a call on the matter.
This was after the Harijan Panchayat Committee (HPC) had rejected the government’s proposal to relocate the Sweepers’ Colony from Them Iew Mawlong to the existing land of the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB).
When asked, Dhar however said that the government will always welcome the HPC if they want to discuss on the matter.
