The Directorate of Industries has suspended the industrial registration issued to a private industrial venture of Shillong following a complaint against it.
Sources said that the firm – Meghalaya Wire Products of Police Bazar – was registered by the District Industries Centre, Shillong on March 23 last, although it did not have any manufacturing unit locally.
On the directive from the Industries Minister, the Director of Industries, Mr N Nongbri, conducted a physical verification and found that the complaint was genuine, sources added. By a notification the Director has suspended the registration of the firm and has asked all heads of departments not to issue any orders with the firm under the Meghalaya Preferential Stores Purchase Rules.
