Shillong, Dec 8: Cabinet minister and UDP legislator from Khliehriat Kyrmen Shylla has said a meeting will be convened in January to seek views of the people of East Jaintia Hills regarding railway lines.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Kyrmen said the decision was taken by him along with NPP legislator from Sutnga-Saipung Santa Mary Shylla after taking into consideration varied opinions among the people of the district on the matter.
“Whenever we meet different groups , we found that not everyone supports the idea of bringing railways to the district and not everyone is against it either. Therefore, the best thing to do is to have a big meeting so that people of the district can give their views and suggestions on the matter. We are yet to fix a date but the meeting will take place by January, next year,” he added.
