Dr Sangma made this stand clear at a meeting between the State Government and various NGOs opposing the uranium mining, including the representatives of some villages in South West Khasi Hills at the conference room of the State Secretariat, here this afternoon. Various organisations have opposed the construction of Nongstoin-Pambriew-Wahkaji-Mawthabah road under SARDP-NE on the ground that government's intention of constructing the road was to facilitate uranium mining in the area.Please log in to get detailed story.Tags: #Meghalaya not to allow UCIL to take up pre-developmental projects
