Shillong, August 3 (IANS): The Meghalaya cabinet has approved a proposal to provide government jobs to people who donate land for various developmental projects, Chief Minister Mukula Sangma has announced.

In the case of individual land owners, Sangma said a member of their family would be absorbed in the government while in the case of community land, traditional institutions will select and recommend the names of people who deserve to be appointed. The cabinet also approved a proposal of the state personnel department to increase the reservation in connection with the appointment of persons with disabilities in various government departments. It also approved the 2 per cent job reservation for sports persons who had represented the state and brought laurels by participating in various sporting events organised at regional and national levels. Meanwhile, a proposed legislation "Meghalaya Protection of Interests of Depositors Financial Establishment Bill, 2017" was also approved which would protect the interests of depositors in the state. "Besides banks, we have a number of non-banking financial institutions in the state where people are also depositing their money in such institutions," Sangma said. He said the bill would be introduced in Assembly in the upcoming session likely to be held in September. Amphitheatre inaugurated in M'laya Shillong, August 3 (IANS): An amphitheatre, built at a cost of Rs 2 crore, was inaugurated by Meghalya Deputy Chief Minister R.C. Laloo in the state's West Jaintia Hills district on Thursday. The project is part of a Rs 5.88 crore proposal submitted by the state's Department of Arts and Culture for building three amphitheatres in Shillong, Tura and Jowai for organising various arts and cultural events and programmes, government sources said. The theatre is located in Jowai, which was selected as one of the three locations as the existing auditorium there is under heavy demand and inadequate for hosting regular music concerts, rock shows and other such entertainment for the youth. It would also offer opportunities for local artistes to perform regularly. Spread over 1.80 acres (7,572 sqm) in the Moolasyat area, adjacent to the Jowai Police Reserve, the theatre has a seating capacity for 1,400.
