Meghalaya Government Negotiates Army Land for Harijan Colony Relocation
The Meghalaya government is in advanced discussions with Army authorities for land allocation to relocate 342 families currently residing in Harijan Colony, following violent clashes in 2018 that heightened calls for resettlement. Chief Secretary Donald P. Wahlang expressed optimism about acquiring a suitable patch of land near Anjalee Parking Lot to accommodate these families. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to addressing longstanding issues in the region and ensuring community safety and stability. The relocation effort underscores the importance of collaborative dialogue between state authorities and the military in resolving local tensions effectively.
