SHILLONG: The estimated loss till date due to the damages during the agitations of pressure groups demanding implementation of ILP has gone up to over Rs 50 crore with the recent assessment of over Rs 21 crore loss due to the destruction of BSNL stockyard.

Earlier on October 15, the State Government had filed a petition before the Special Court mentioning over Rs 31 crore loss due to damage to property and loss of man-days during the agitations of NGOs over the implementation of ILP.

As per the amended MMPO Act, the deputy commissioners had been entrusted with the task of assessing the damages to property during the agitations.

The East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner Sanjay Goyal said that as per the estimate, the total loss due to the ongoing agitations is over Rs 50 crore, which according to him would affect the overall development of the State.

According to him, the estimated loss of over Rs 21 crore due to the destruction of BSNL warehouse at Mawiong is a setback for the state as far as the expansion plan of the BSNL is concerned. There were ambitious plans by the BSNL, but the fire incident at the BSNL warehouse has derailed it, the Deputy Commissioner said.
