SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Integrated Information System (MIIS), which was launched with the objective of disseminating information about Government project and schemes to the people on a priority basis, has failed to live up to its expectation.
In a recent case, a city-based journalist, who had sought to know the status of the ongoing Jorabat-Umiam four-lane project from the Chief Minister through the ‘Talk to Your Chief Minister’ link in the MIIS, got his reply after almost six months.
The journalist had posted the query on the website in June soon after the launch of the MIIS by Chief Minister Dr Mukul Sangma.
However, the reply to the query was made available to the journalist only on January 17.
Though the question was posed before the Chief Minister, the reply came from RD Shira, Joint Secretary of the Public Works Department (Roads & Buildings).
