The State Govt has appealed to the Centre to transfer to the civil administration all untulised plots and land leased for commercial purposes within Shillong Cantonment and other Defence Holdings.

In an official Note on the necessity to transfer some plots of cantonment land in Shillong for civilian use, the State Govt has pointed out that the Defence authorities have been willy nilly dragging its feet on some of the long pending demands of the State Govt in this regard.

The Note said: “The Shillong Cantonment is in an enviable position because, with the heavy pressure on land in the city, it has a large area lying unused. Some of the plots of land have been kept vacant for a number of years and are not likely to be needed for defence purposes in future.”

The State Govt has demanded release of the following plots plot of land opposite Anjalee Cinema, plot of land Anjalee Cinema, Garrison ground, abandoned firing range at Kench’s Trace, Cantonment land north of Umshyrpi river, right of way for civilian through the Cantonment to the villagers of Umlyngka, Nongkseh and Lummawbah.
