Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Urban Affairs Sniawbhalang Dhar on Thursday informed that the State government will invite the Harijan Panchayat Committee (HPC) after Pujas for discussion on resolving the issue related to the relocation of 342 families of Sweepers’ Colony from Them Iew Mawlong.  

“After the pujas, I will call them (HPC) again (for discussion). Everything is going on in a positive direction,” Dhar told reporters.

He said that the Meghalaya High Court through its various orders have requested both the State government and HPC to resolve the issue at the earliest possible.

On September 29,  the Meghalaya government had informed the High Court that it has agreed to increase the individual plot sizes as requested by the residents of the Sweepers’ Colony.
