SHILLONG, March 18: Cabinet Minister and BJP legislator, AL Hek has urged the central government to make a final decision on railways in Meghalaya based on the people’s will.

He emphasized that the focus should be on the people’s interest, not the political parties.
Pressure groups in the region have opposed railways, fearing it would lead to influx.
