Editor,
The Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) Government which took over the reign of Meghalaya in 2018 has virtually completed three years and a half. Of the 3.5 years only two years were seen actively and effectively governed and delivered but within 1.5 years there was a non-functional government or almost a dead government.
During the period in the Block headquarters there was hardly any staff attendance and in quite a number of days nil attendance was witnessed. How can the government deliver to the masses like this? In the District levels only Deputy Commissioners and a few junior staff were found but many senior officers of many departments while UD and clerical staff were practically not in attendance.
Even in Directorate and Secretariat levels they wore deserted looks and most important files dealing with development and life and death of the masses in rural and urban areas remained pending or unmoved.
The government blamed Covid-19 for this delay, procrastination or non deliverance during the period. Will the MDA Government continue to remain dead during the remaining period of its tenure because the disease might become more infectious and chronic and the golden opportunity of the MDA to rule the State may be wasted for good or may not come back?
As of now, if an honest Progress Report is to be given by the people of Meghalaya, I am afraid that the MDA Government may fail miserably.
