Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday hinted that the government is exploring the option of engaging other independent agencies to probe into the alleged leakage of the uranium tanks in South West Khasi Hills district.
His statement also came at a time when organisations especially the Khasi Student Union (KSU) have expressed dissatisfaction over the government’s decision to engage the North Eastern Hill University and the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati for carrying out an in-depth study into the matter.
Speaking to reporters, Sangma said both NEHU and IIT, Guwahati are independent bodies and that the government is looking at agencies that can quickly implement things especially in view of the present situation there are a lot of challenges for people to travel and come in the state.
He said therefore, it is easier for the government to make things move faster with NEHU and IIT, Guwahati.
