A high-level committee set up to relocate the Sweeper colony in Them Ïew Mawlong submitted its final report to the State government today.
The panel headed by Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong submitted the report three years after its constitution and has made certain recommendations on the issue.
Tynsong however refused to disclose the recommendations before it is placed in the cabinet for a discussion. “It is the duty of the government to brief all of you once the decision is taken,” he maintained.
“The Cabinet will sit down to discuss the report point by point and line by line…for taking a decision (on the issue),” Tynsong said.
The high level committee was constituted by the State government to find a feasible solution for the relocation of the Sweeper Colony following the 2018 violent protest at Motphran.
The inventory report submitted by the Shillong Municipal Board had earlier said 184 employees and their families have been identified as legal settlers. They are 128 employees of the SMB and 56 others who are working in different government departments.
