Shillong, June 28: Meghalaya government has constituted the independent inquiry committee to look into the alleged corruption and irregularities in the Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL), the notification for which will be issued very soon.

“The inquiry commission has been formed and necessary instruction has been given to issue the notification (for the same),” Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma told reporters here on Monday.

He said the notification is likely to come out by Monday night or Tuesday.

He, however, did not disclose the names of the committee members stating that it is improper to reveal the names before the notification is issued.

Assuring that the committee is ‘truly independent’ the CM said the government has avoided people who had any kind of link with the state government, power department or other department.

“That is the yardstick we have followed because we felt that if we try to bring in people who have worked in the MeECL in the past or in other departments, there could be some questioning whether this is truly independent in nature or not,” he said.
