Minister in-charge General Administration Rakkam A Sangma said the government has initiated the proposal for construction of a permanent building for Patharkhmah civil sub division.
Replying in the Assembly, Sangma said 11.864 acres of land was donated to the government for construction of the building of the civil subdivision.
He said the Patharkhmah civil subdivision is temporarily functioning from the office of the SDO, PHE.
Opposition Congress MLA from Umsning Celestine Lyngdoh said the land has been donated to the government when Patharkhmah was just an administrative unit.
However even after 15 years have passed, not a single pillar has been erected by the government.
“Due to this, there is encroachment and the land donated to the government (for the purpose) is reducing on a day to day basis,” he said.
