SHILLONG: Ri Bhoi Deputy Commissioner Pooja Pandey on Sunday asserted that the district administration was committed to provide security to all personnel engaged in construction of the rail line at Byrnihat.
“We will provide security and whatever assistance required to the NFR for the completion of the project,” the deputy commissioner said.
Unidentified miscreants had torched two JCBs and a water tanker belonging to NFR at Byrnihat early Saturday morning.
An FIR was lodged by the NFR, but no arrest has been made so far.
Though pressure groups have been opposing railways in Meghalaya, land for the rail project has already been handed over to NFR and work has also begun.
