During his meeting with Director General of Defence, he emphasised the need for transfer of defence land in and around Shillong to the state government to carry out major development initiatives.

The Deputy Chief Minister also held some other high-level meetings to push key infrastructure projects in the state.
During his meeting with the Managing Director of National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), he focussed on critical road projects, including extending the flyover to Barik Point and developing the High Speed Corridor from Umiam to Malidor, alongside improvements to the Shillong-Dawki and Phulbari-Agia roads.
“Completion of these major road projects will greatly benefit the people of Meghalaya,” he said.
