SHILLONG: The Mawlai: 2019-Social Service Organisation (M: 19-SSO) has urged the Minister of General Administrative Department (GAD) Comingone Ymbon to name the Shillong-Mawlai bypass as “F.S. Cajee Mawlai By-Pass”.
A delegation of the organisation met the minister on Monday led by Mawlai MDC and UDP member Teibor Pathaw.
In a letter to the minister, the organisation pointed out that the road was the idea of Cajee, a former MLA and MDC of Mawlai constituency, and it would be appropriate to name it after him.
The organisation recalled that Cajee thought of the bypass not only to decongest traffic along the National Highway but also to open up more opportunities for land owners along it. Ymbon said that the matter will be examined.
The bypass was opened on August 17.
