Shillong, Oct 24: The KHADC Executive Committee will not hand over the road from Wahkaji-Nongtnger to Mawthabah in West Khasi to PWD indicating concerns of uranium deposits.
The VPP-led Executive Committee (EC), however, is ready to issue a no objection certificate (NOC) to any government department willing to undertake repairs on the Wahkaji.
During the question hour, UDP MDC from Ranikor Pius Marwein has suggested the need to handed over the road to the PWD, citing the lack of funds from the council to repair it.
According to Marwein 11 villages have requested the KHADC to hand over the road to the PWD, and that it has been included in the list of PMGSY-IV.
In reply, the Executive Member in-charge Council Assets Pynkhrawboklin Kharjahrin said that the EC is yet to discuss the matter.
