SHILLONG, Nov 6: The Meghalaya Cabinet on Friday approved the proposal to upgrade the Mairang civil sub-division to a full-fledged district. Informing this after the Cabinet meeting, Deputy Chief Minister, Prestone Tynsong, informed that the new district, which will be inaugurated on November 10, will be called Eastern West Khasi Hills district.
Asked about the expenditure for the new district, Tynsong said the government has instructed the department concerned to work out all details, and this will be reflected in the state budget next year.
“The implementation of the various government programmes, schemes and projects will be effectively implemented in view of the creation of the new district,” he said.
Creation of the new district will ensure that administration will remain closer to the people besides implementation of various schemes will also be more effective, Tynsong added.
The deputy chief minister also ruled out any government possibility, for the nonce, to create more districts.
