SHILLONG, March 7: United Democratic Party minister, Paul Lyngdoh on Tuesday underlined the need for a greater plan to ease congestion in Shillong.
“The priority of the government is to ease the congestion in the city. We need to have a grand plan and it should not focus only on one specific area,” he said when asked if he would pursue the relocation of the residents from Them Iew Mawlong or Harijan Colony.
He said the relocation should be part of a greater plan the council of ministers could deliberate on later.
He also said the autonomous district councils should implement the building bye-laws in the scheduled area.
“The Meghalaya Building Bye-Laws apply to the urban, semi-urban and rural. There will be no controversy and confusion if one set of bye-laws is applied throughout Meghalaya,” Lyngdoh said.
He declined to say what role UDP president Metbah Lyngdoh will be given in the NPP-led MDA 2.0 government.
“The party president will be the best to reply to this question,” Paul Lyngdoh said. “What’s important is that he is our party president and the parliamentary party leader,” he added.
On whether the UDP is happy with two cabinet berths, he said the quality and not the quantity of the people in charge matters.
“There is no point having 20 persons if they don’t deliver. A person handling five departments efficiently can deliver,” he said.
