Shillong, May 5: Cabinet has approved the revised estimate of New Shillong Water Supply Scheme (Phase I).
The revised estimate for the Shillong Township Water Supply Scheme has been increased from Rs 553 crore to Rs 770 crore. This revision is primarily due to the relocation of the proposed dam site further upstream, necessitated by the development of a scientific landfill at Nonghali.
