Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong has wholly rejected a report in a section of the press that claimed that the state government will resume the railway project up to Byrnihat in Ri-Bhoi.
“I never said that the railway project should be resumed. I only said that the state government has entrusted the Deputy Commissioner of Ri-Bhoi to initiate discussion again on the project with everyone, meaning that all the stakeholders will be taken on board to get the process moving as it had been stalled in the past,” he told reporters today.
