SHILLONG: Nongthymmai legislator Jemino Mawthoh on Thursday called for a re-think on the meetings of the District Planning and Development Council (DPDC) saying that such meetings were futile since none of the recommendations was being considered.
“I have personally attended two meeting of the DPDCs. There were many important recommendations and proposals made during the meeting. But it is disappointing that none of the recommendations was considered,” Mawthoh said during Question Hour in the Assembly on Thursday.
In his reply, PWD Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar said that the meetings of the DPDCs are normally attended by the Executives Engineers.
He also asserted that the recommendations of the DPDCs are being given due consideration, even though he admitted that he did not have the minutes of the last meeting of the Council.
