The Meghalaya government has formulated a district fund scheme to implement the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act (MRSSA) 2016 in the State.
The fund will be placed at the disposal of the deputy commissioners through their respective district task force.

MRSSA is to enhance security vetting of the tenants and to ensure the security of the citizens by preventing anti-social elements from gaining shelter in the State, which might be detrimental to peace and tranquility, to maintain public order and peace. The act also aims to verify and regulate the tenants residing in the rented houses in the State.
