KHNAM accused PWD (Roads) of biased treatment

The Khun Hynniewtrep National awakening Movement (KHNAM) submitted a memorandum to the chief Engineer PWD (Roads).

In the memorandum the KHNAM accused the Government of Meghalaya especially the department of PWD (roads) of turning blind eye to the roads conditions of the rural areas located at the Khasi hills district, Jaintia Hills district, and the Ri-Bhoi district. It also claimed that more emphasis have been given only to Garo hills.

While speaking to the media person Mr. Thomas Passah stated that tender notified have shown crores of rupees for repair/construction of roads located at Garo hills and very less attention is being paid to the roads located at other regions.

An example can be seen with the Mawthabah­-Wahkaji whereby surprisingly no amount has been allocated for the repair and construction of Wahkaji-Mawthabah roads in South West Khasi Hills.

This time in the local body elections held in Uttar Pradesh, all political parties have raised their own candidates. This is the first time that candidates are contesting on election symbols of their political parties in the local body elections. In the elections of the local body, BJP’s alliance has always been huge, whether it is Municipal Corporation, Municipality or a Nagar Panchayat. In most municipal corporations, the Mayor is from the BJP and more than 50 per cent of the municipalities and Nagar Panchayats have the BJP- backed candidate on the post of the President.
