The Meghalaya government has resolved a decades-old land dispute at Sohra and initiated a digital shift towards paperless administration. The cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, took pivotal decisions to improve governance.
The state administration will hand over 128 acres in Saitsohpen to the Elaka of Hima Sohra, settling claims based on historical records. The resolution follows recommendations from a committee led by Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, ending a dispute that dates back to the British era.
In addition, the cabinet approved new service rules and launched the e-Cabinet system to digitize processes, enhancing operational efficiency and security. The e-Cabinet enables ministers to access, review, and approve documents electronically, curtailing the need for paper-based tasks.
