SHILLONG, Jan 20: Urban Affairs Minister, Sniawbhalang Dhar has asserted that the state government is working to ensure smooth relocation of the Harijan Colony residents and would not act under pressure from any quarter.
“We would like to relocate the residents in a proper away. At the moment, the department is yet to receive the full list of families residing at Sweepers (Harijan) Colony. We only have a list of the government employees residing there,” Sniawbhalang Dhar said.
Maintaining that some of the government employees have already been shifted from Them Iew Mawlong, Dhar reiterated that the government would not act in haste just because there is pressure from some quarters. “We will take a decision that would be acceptable to all.

“I want to assure that any step taken by the government would be acceptable to everyone,” the minister asserted.
