Shillong, Oct 12: The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) has demanded early action on its plea to the government regarding an alleged illegal construction of a temple on the CBI campus at Mawdiangdiang.
The KSU Shillong Mihngi Circle, in a letter, reminded the Urban Affairs department of its petition seeking a clarification on the matter two months ago.
“The Union wishes to know whether the Department of Urban Affairs has taken the necessary legal steps regarding the said construction and, if so, what the outcome of those steps has been,” it stated.
No status update and no legal action has been communicated to the Union since the meeting on August 11, it added.
According to KSU, the agreement allows only a residential complex and office complex at the site, but ground inspection revealed a place of worship coming up inside the premises.
The Union also flagged that its leaders were summoned by police over the issue even as the department has not spelt out what steps it has taken.
Warning of escalation, the Union said if no satisfactory reply comes within a reasonable period, it “may be compelled to consider other stronger but lawful measures to highlight this issue and demand appropriate redress.”
