In a significant move, the state cabinet on Tuesday changed the Meghalaya construction regulations to allow for the creation of industrial zones in the township of New Shillong. Speaking to the media after the cabinet meeting, Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh stated that the amendment’s goal is to classify the industrial zones in the New Shillong township. The objective behind this move is to regulate the construction of the buildings in the industrial zones of Mawhanu and Mawkasiang under the newly formed Shillong township area.
“The amendment is broadly to facilitate the need to categorize the industrial zones as categorization was not done earlier and it involves the amendment of the building bylaws for these industrial zones,” Lyngdoh said. He went on to say that the state cabinet has adopted new sets of regulations for the industrial zones since the continuous expansion that is currently occurring in the new Shillong region needs to be planned in a highly scientific way. Lyndoh went on to say that the new regulation would be applicable in designated industrial areas across the state of Meghalaya.
