💨 Abstract

The Centre has asked the Meghalaya government to return a Rs 200 crore grant for a rail project in Shillong as the state failed to acquire land due to strong opposition. The project was halted due to local resistance and unavailability of land, as well as concerns about potential influx of outsiders. The chief minister assured the government would consult all stakeholders before proceeding with such projects.
